Well everyone, it's football season. So far, my team (Saskatchewan Roughriders naturally) is the only undefeated team in the league after 3 games.
In the season opener, it was us against the Edmonton Eskimos. We got an early lead and dominated the uneventful game with a final score of 34-13.
In game 2, we faced off against the B.C. Lions. That was a hard game. Early in the first quarter, defensive back Leron Mitchell was taken off the field with a broken ankle. Then shortly after that, our starting quarterback Marcus Crandell was taken out with a hamstring injury early in the second quarter. And as if that wasn't enough, slotback D.J. Flick was rushed to hospital. He broke his left leg in 2 places.
However, even with 3 players out of play, we were still able to defeat the former Grey Cup Champions 26-16.
In game 3, which ended just a few hours ago, it was us against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. It was a really close game. Our third quarterback, Darian Durant, was starting this game (our second, Steven Jyles threw 2 interceptions in the 3rd quarter of game 2 and was replaced). To my surprise, Durant did quite well. For most of the game, we had a bit of a lead. That is until the third quarter when the Tiger-Cats were ahead 28 to 27. But then we got a break. Wide receiver Weston Dressler ran for 68 yards and was taken down at the Ti-Cats 1 yard line. We then make the touchdown with 26 seconds left to win the game. We came through with a final score of 33-28.
I will be posting summaries of other games as they happen.
And feel free to add any info about any other games that have been played thus far.
