SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS<\/p>\n

1. KEEP UP THE PRESSURE<\/p>\n

Saskatchewan forced its way through Winnipeg\u2019s offensive line for five sacks last week, of which defensive lineman Malik Carney<\/a> had a pair. It\u2019s not always about being better; sometimes it\u2019s about being consistent, and the Riders\u2019 front will hope to be in the rematch.<\/p>\n

2. TREVOR HARRIS<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been back-to-back tough outings for Trevor Harris, and while he hasn\u2019t been bad, the Riders need their quarterback to lead the way.<\/p>\n

3. THE SECONDARY<\/p>\n

Defensive back Tevaughn Campbell<\/a> has elite closing ability, and Rolan Milligan Jr. is always a threat. Still, with the number of options available in the Bombers\u2019 pass game, it has to be an all-hands-on-deck approach to stopping it. That means DaMarcus Fields, Kosi Onyeka<\/a> and Marcus Sayles<\/a> need to play well in support of their two secondary stars.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS<\/p>\n

1. WELCOME BACK, ONTARIA WILSON<\/p>\n

Receiver Ontaria Wilson will play in his first game with the Bombers after signing earlier this week, and he\u2019ll be needed as Dalton Schoen<\/a> finds himself out for the season after tearing his ACL<\/a>. Wilson caught 71 passes for 1,026 yards for Winnipeg last season.<\/p>\n

2. PROTECT ZACH COLLAROS<\/p>\n

Quarterback Zach Collaros threw for his second-most yards in a game this season last week, all despite the five sacks. If the offensive line, led by veteran Stanley Bryant<\/a>, can give Collaros more protection, it\u2019ll allow him to be even more efficient.<\/p>\n

3. BIG PLAYS FROM KERIC WHEATFALL<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no doubt Keric Wheatfall<\/a> can be explosive, but head coach Mike O\u2019Shea would like to see it more. If Wheatfall can get going, it\u2019ll give Collaros four legitimate options across the field with Wilson, Nic Demski<\/a> and Kevens Clercius.<\/p>\n

NEED TO KNOW:<\/p>\n

Winnipeg is 4-1 at home. Saskatchewan is 4-1 on the road.
\nKickoff from Princess Auto Stadium is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. ET, and can be watched on TSN in Canada and on CFL+ in the U.S. and internationally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WINNIPEG \u2014 The Saskatchewan Roughriders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers meet again on Saturday afternoon in a ToonieBet rivalry…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":124349,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-124348","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cfl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-canadian-football-league","11":"tag-canadianfootballleague","12":"tag-cfl","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=124348"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124348\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=124348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=124348"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=124348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
