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...
