Saskatchewan Continues Winning Despite Its Injuries

Saskatchewan enters Week 11 at 6-2 overall and a perfect 3-0 on the road. The Roughriders have won consecutive games, beating Edmonton 28-26 before defeating Ottawa 42-20. Saskatchewan is 4-1 over its last five games, with its only loss during that stretch coming by two points against Edmonton.

The Roughriders average 34.3 points and 423.9 total yards per game. Their offense generates 331.9 passing yards and 102.5 rushing yards per contest. Saskatchewan’s defense allows 26.9 points per game, giving the team a positive scoring margin of more than seven points.

Saskatchewan has scored at least 27 points in every game this season. The Roughriders also dominated the first meeting with Hamilton, winning 38-7 after holding the Tiger-Cats scoreless through the final three quarters. Their ability to continue producing despite several offensive injuries makes them difficult to oppose against a struggling Hamilton team.

Hamilton Searches for Answers on Offense

Hamilton comes into Saturday’s game at 3-6 overall and 2-3 at home. The Tiger-Cats have lost three straight games, most recently falling 27-24 at BC. Hamilton is 1-4 over its last five appearances, with its only victory during that span coming by one point against Toronto.

The Tiger-Cats average 23.4 points and 319.6 total yards per game. Hamilton produces 236.9 passing yards and 96.1 rushing yards per contest while allowing 29 points. The offense has been held to 24 points or fewer in six consecutive games.

Hamilton showed some improvement during last week’s narrow loss, but its offense generated only 24 points despite receiving favorable field position. The Tiger-Cats now face a Saskatchewan defense that held them to seven points in the first meeting. Hamilton must protect the football and avoid falling behind early because its current offense is not constructed to overcome a large deficit.
