10 Thoughts: Roughriders put together redeeming performance against Lions

Although the score says it was a six-point difference, the Saskatchewan Roughriders were in complete control in a 33-27 win over the B.C. Lions on Saturday in Week 7 of the CFL season. Article content With three touchdowns passes thrown by Trevor Harris, including one on the opening drive to Dohnte Meyers, the Roughriders were able to improve to 5-1 on the season, shaking off last week's loss to the Calgary Stampeders in the process. Article content Article content Here are the top 10 takeaways from the game: Article content 10 Thoughts Article content 1. After a lacklustre performance last week against the Stampeders, the Roughriders needed a response on Saturday. And the start couldn't have gone much better as Saskatchewan's offence scored a touchdown on the opening drive with Harris finding Meyers for a 50-yard TD strike. That drive set the tone for the rest of the night. Aside from one interception, Saskatchewan's offence was effective as the group scored points on seven of the first eight drives of the game. Article content 2. There were some new faces on both sides of the ball compared to the last time the Riders and Lions played three weeks ago, including the two quarterbacks. And what a difference that makes having two all-star quality pivots going head-to-head. We were treated to a whole bunch of elite passes between Harris and B.C.'s Nathan Rourke, who were both injured the last time these two teams met. Article content 3. Roughriders rookie left tackle Darius Washington made his CFL debut on Saturday and didn't look out of place. While his guy got a hit on Harris after he threw the ball in the fourth quarter, Washington and the rest of the group didn't give up a sack. Washington is the third left tackle to start a game this season for the Riders. Props to general manager Jeremy O'Day and company for continuing to find quality talent with all the injuries they've had to deal with. Article content 4. After recording just nine yards on six carries last week, running back A.J. Ouellette topped that yardage total on his first carry of the night with a 15-yard gain. He also had a touchdown reception and finished the night with 72 rushing yards. Not eye-popping stats, but the overall performance has to feel much better. On the other side, Lions' running back James Butler entered the week as the CFL's leading rusher and the Riders defence limited him to 30 yards after he went off for 171 last week. Article content Article content 5. It was tough to see Riders running back Ka'Deem Carey go down like he did in the third quarter. The cart came on the field after the gruesome injury but Carey insisted on hobbling off the field with the help of trainers. He's been nothing but a positive signing on and off the field for the Riders following his release from the Toronto Argonauts. Here's hoping it's not as serious as it looked. Article content 6. With Mario Alford on the one-game injured list, rookie returner Drae McCray made his CFL debut on Saturday after a promising pre-season. And while he didn't record a 99-yard game-winning kick-off return like Alford did earlier this year, the rookie was effective in the return game, including a game-high 24-yard return in the first half which set up a Roughrider touchdown.

Roughriders 33, Lions 27: Saskatchewan offence strikes early and often to thump B.C.

A dominant performance from quarterback Trevor Harris powered the Saskatchewan Roughriders to 33-27 victory over the B.C. Lions on Saturday. Article content Harris connected on 23 of his 30 passing attempts for 395 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the West Division matchup. Article content Article content Kicker Brett Lauther added four field goals for the Riders (5-1), including a 45-yard strike in the first quarter. Article content There was bad news for Saskatchewan, too, as running back Ka'Deem Carey left the game midway through the third quarter with an apparent leg injury and did not return. Article content Nathan Rourke chalked up 337 passing yards with three TDs for the Lions (3-4). The Canadian QB made good on 27 of his 41 attempts, had one interception and was sacked once. Article content The Riders had 506 yards of net offence across the game, compared to 373 yards for the Lions. Article content Saskatchewan struck early on Saturday, with Harris lobbing a rainbow to Dohnte Meyers deep inside Lions' territory less than five minutes into the game. The American receiver nabbed the ball and darted into the end zone for Saskatchewan's first major of the night. Article content B.C.'s troubles deepened on the next play when Seven McGee fumbled the kickoff return and Riders linebacker Jayden Dalke recovered it at the home side's 38-yard line. Article content Lauther capitalized on the turnover with a 45-yard field goal that boosted Saskatchewan's lead to 10-0 midway through the opening frame. Article content Article content The offensive onslaught continued with Harris sailing a 29-yard pass to Joe Robustelli to put the visitors back in scoring position late in the quarter. The quarterback followed up with a short dish to A.J. Ouellette, who dashed five yards into the end zone. Lauther made the convert and the Riders went up 17-1. Article content B.C.'s offence finally found its footing with just seconds to go in the first. Article content Rourke escaped the pocket and fired a 40-yard pass to Ayden Eberhardt, who stepped over the goal line for the Lions' first TD of the night. Article content The two sides traded field goals in the second quarter, with Lauther connecting on 27- and 41-yard attempts and B.C. kicker Sean Whyte sending a 47-yard kick through the uprights. Saskatchewan headed into the locker room up 23-11. Article content The Riders picked up right where they left off out of the break. Article content Less than four minutes into the third quarter, Harris found Meyers deep in the red zone for a 30-yard touchdown. Article content Saskatchewan's biggest problem of the game came midway through the third when Carey was taken down by Lions linebacker Micah Awe, in a play that left the running back writhing on the turf in obvious discomfort. He was eventually helped off the field by two trainers, putting no weight on his right leg.
