Roughriders roll past winless Redblacks 42-20
After Trevor Harris led the Saskatchewan Roughriders to an impressive victory Friday, head coach Corey Mace wasn't about to let his veteran quarterback slide a career milestone into the background.
Regina witnessed an impressive victory for the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Friday as Trevor Harris led the team to a 42-20 win over the Ottawa Redblacks. Harris completed 30 out of 38 passes for 401 yards, marking him as the 12th quarterback in CFL history to reach the 40,000-yard plateau in career passing yards. Head coach Corey Mace acknowledged Harris's achievement, praising his humility and refusal to accept the game ball.
The Riders' strong offensive performance in the second half, despite injuries to key players, was led by KeeSean Johnson, Johnny Johnson III, D’Sean Mimbs and Dylan Djete. The Redblacks, who are winless in their last eight games and facing a 14-game losing streak, struggled against the Riders' comeback drive in the third quarter.
Ottawa's Jake Maier completed 31 of 43 passes for 339 yards, but it was not enough to secure a win. The Riders will next face the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday, August 15.
