REGINA — Jake Dolegala is looking forward to making his first start for the Saskatchewan Roughriders under normal circumstances.
“It’s just super exciting. It means a lot. Like I said before, it’s a childhood dream just being a professional athlete, let alone starting,” said Dolegala. “I'm going to just go out there, try my best. I'm going to do what I can to help this team to win and see what happens on Sunday.” Dolegala wasn’t the only Rider who struggled last week against the Alouettes. In addition to the offence failing to move the ball consistently, the defence had issues controlling Montreal's offence.
"The guys understand the importance of this game, so it should be a game where we put our best foot forward.”
