Harris throws for two TDs as Roughriders hold off Fajardo, Elks 21-18

REGINA — The first-place Saskatchewan Roughriders are finding ways to win despite the lack of a killer instinct. Article content The Riders, who improved to 6-1 with a 21-18 victory over the Edmonton Elks on Friday, have had the propensity this season to take an early lead but then allow their opponents to get back into the game. That's exactly what happened against the Elks as the Riders held a comfortable 21-4 lead after the third quarter only to take their foot of the gas and find themselves having to fend off a late Edmonton comeback. Article content Article content Article content Quarterback Trevor Harris was visibly frustrated with the Riders failing to put the Elks away when they had the chance. Article content 'There's obviously some positive things to take away, but I'm sure you guys could probably guess that I'm not happy with the way that we finished the game offensively. You know, if you want to be a championship-calibre team, you've got to put the nail in the coffin and we didn't do that,' said Harris, who completed 25 of his 33 passes for 268 yards with a pair of touchdowns on the night. Article content 'But that being said, I think this is a team that can take a look in the mirror and get better. It's not like, 'We don't have the guys' or 'We're screwed.' It's just one of those things. We've got to take a look in the mirror and be better toward the end of the game. And we will, you can mark my words.' Article content Riders head coach Corey Mace, while sharing some of his quarterback's frustration, also sees glimmers of hope from his players. Article content 'We can talk about it all we want, we can talk situational football, about having a killer instinct and what to expect in certain situations but ultimately, the players win games. There were a couple of plays tonight where I'm going to look back and think I should have called something better defensively. And yet they made the play look unbelievable, you know? They have that talent, man. So, if we get a call, that's awesome, and they can also be unbelievable. That's where we've got to go, we've got to continue to grow,' said Mace. Article content Article content 'We just kind of continue to work at that stuff. I don't know if it's physical or mental or if it's a lack of focus. Maybe we're not coaching it hard enough, we could look in the mirror from that standpoint. So, everybody will continue to do it.' Article content The Elks, who are now 1-5, made a change at starting quarterback this week, replacing Tre Ford with veteran Cody Fajardo. The Edmonton offence struggled to find a rhythm, especially in the third quarter when they were held to four yards of total offence in three possessions. Article content 'I think the thought that comes to mind is our defence and how they got off the field. We had the ball around midfield, and then we went two and out, and that crushed us,' said Fajardo, who was dealt to the Elks in the off-season after two seasons with the Montreal Alouettes. 'There was another one of those sacks where it was a run-pass option. I pulled it, I tried to pull up and make a throw, and their defensive ends are athletic and made a good play. If I hand off the ball there, who knows what happens? It was just a terrible read by me, and I've got to be better for this team.'
