Trevor Harris<\/a> was impressive. He finished just shy of another 400-yard outing, going 23-30 for 395 passing yards, three touchdowns, and an interception.<\/p>\nHarris said after sitting with a bad loss for the whole week it was important to get back into the win column this week.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fact that we were able to get to five and one today and be able to flush that bad loss from us last week did feel good,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ll enjoy this for a couple hours and wake up tomorrow and start working on Edmonton.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wide receiver Dohnte Meyers shared some love for Harris after a remarkable game from the Riders quarterback.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was outstanding, he\u2019s a leader, he prepares for it and he takes his work, his craft very seriously,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Riders jumped out to a quick 17-1 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. Saskatchewan took a 12-point lead to the locker room at half time after a field goal from Riders\u2019 kicker Brett Lauther made it 23\u201311.<\/p>\n
The Riders didn\u2019t skip a beat in the second half. Harris found Meyers for the duo\u2019s second touchdown of the game, just two and a half minutes into the third quarter.<\/p>\n
Harris said he always feels good when Meyers is on the field.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a very competitive guy, he\u2019s constantly asking how he can get better, and he\u2019s just one of those guys where you feel good about him being out there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cEspecially when he\u2019s on the perimeter because he\u2019s very fast, he can get behind defences and he\u2019s very shifty and, as you saw against Toronto, if you get him the ball in the open field he can really go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meyers and Harris were able to set the tone early in the first quarter and again in the third and Meyers said they\u2019ve been working all year on being able to keep their foot on the gas after jumping out to quick starts.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe emphasize on starting fast and starting early, and we want to be aggressive. We know we\u2019re (an) explosive offence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to continue to be explosive throughout the game just because you start fast, we want to finish fast too.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was more of a quiet fourth quarter as the Riders were able to limit almost all of the offensive advances made by the Lions, but BC would score a last-minute touchdown to pull within six.<\/p>\n
After last week\u2019s game where Mace said the physicality wasn\u2019t where it needed to be, he said that changed this week against BC.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought specifically up front from a D-line standpoint I know the sack total wasn\u2019t anything crazy \u2026 they were rushing physically against that offensive line and forcing Nathan (Rourke) into some decisions he might not have wanted,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI did think, from a physicality standpoint, certainly I liked what I saw without looking at statistics.\u201d<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t all good news for the Green and White, though, as running back Ka\u2019Deem Carey left the game early with an apparent injury. Mace didn\u2019t have an update on Carey\u2019s status after the game but he said it sucks to see anyone go down.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe understand what this game is but it does not ever make it any easier to see things like that happen,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Riders now set their eyes on the Edmonton Elks who are 1-4 on the season and coming off a bye week, that game goes July 25 at Mosaic Stadium in Regina.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cIt\u2019s the players in the locker room that got to hold each other to a standard and make…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15587,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-15586","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15586","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=15586"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15586\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15587"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
