Funny story: at work we keep the lobby television on the local 24 hour news station. Been that way for years. Now, I've heard the occasional Argo score announced on there... I've seen the cheerleaders
CFL.ca Staff Game Notes
Lose and you go home...
*Since 1961 (when inter-Division play began) Saskatchewan actually holds an edge playing in Toronto – 26 wins to 21.
(By comparison in Eastern road games, the Riders are 14-24 at Montreal and 18-26 at Hamilton)
*This game pits the CFL’s two best first down teams – Toronto averaged 7.00 yards per play and Saskatchewan was at 6.96.
*One key 2017 difference was in QB Sacks Made – Toronto is tied at #1 with 50, Saskatchewan ranked #8 with 27.
*Saskatchewan swept Toronto in their two-game series in 2017 and have now won the last three times they have played the Argos.
*Saskatchewan won both 2017 meetings despite trailing by deficits of 10 points (Jul 29/17) and 13 points (Oct 7/17).(Saskatchewan outscored Toronto by a combined 38 to 18 in the second half and won after trailing each game at half-time)
*The second half comebacks were led first by Kevin Glenn (Jul 29th) and then on Oct 7th by Brandon Bridge. (Oct 7th: Bridge threw for 292 yards and two TDs off the bench leading five scoring drives in his seven possessions at QB)
*Ricky Ray threw for 300+ yards in both games with five TD passes and 74 per cent completion mark.
*James Wilder was held to 107 yards rushing on 24 carries; the Riders are the last team to keep him under 100 yards.
*Duron Carter had games of 131 & 71 yards with two TD catches and five going for clutch second down conversions.
*S.J. Green had games of 68 & 76 yards with two TD catches and five second down conversions on just 14 total targets.
*FG perfection: Tyler Crapigna made all seven of his FG attempts while Lirim Hajrullahu went five-for-five on his tries.
*Bakari Grant added 200 receiving yards on 12 catches – the most yards he had against any opponent in 2017.
??But for all that, I’m saying it’s Jones vs Trestman, and may the best man win...
