Stampeders are the only opponent the Roughriders have seen so far this month as rivals prepare for third October clash
The Roughriders face Calgary at McMahon Stadium on Saturday in Saskatchewan’s third straight meeting with the Stampeders.
The Stampeders edged Saskatchewan 23-17 at McMahon on Oct. 2, followed by an even narrower 22-19 victory at Mosaic Stadium the next week.“We were part of the reason why they got hot, so hopefully we can be part of the reason to slow them down,” Roughriders quarterback Cody Fajardo said. “Motivationally, there’s a pro because we’ve been beaten twice by them, so I think our guys are motivated to go out and play hard and prove they can beat this team. But then, the con is Calgary probably has a lot of confidence right now because they’ve beaten us two in a row.”
The Roughriders want to avoid a season sweep and stay ahead of the Stampeders in the conference. The Stamps have a better record against West Division opponents than the Roughriders . Mitchell spread his 270 passing yards in Vancouver among nine different targets. One of his favourites returns Saturday.
