In the practices ahead of the game, a number of starters have been in backup spots this week, including quarterback Trevor Harris, with Jake Maier taking starting reps there.<\/a><\/p>\n

\t\"\"\/<\/p>\n

On defence, defensive backs Marcus Sayles<\/a> (ankle) and Rolan Milligan Jr.<\/a> (knee\/foot) could sit this week to get healthy.<\/p>\n

But Bell said he only has one speed \u2014 go.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the only button I have on the guys \u2014 it\u2019s go, go go. When you hunt, you hunt. It\u2019s hunting season until they pass out that Grey Cup,\u201d Bell said. \u201cThe expectation is we do the same thing each week.\u201d<\/p>\n

That expectation is to go 1-0 this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny time you go out there, it\u2019s to win,\u201d offensive co-ordinator Marc Mueller<\/a> said. \u201cThe (game is an) opportunity for guys who are here to play. We talk about it at the start of the year \u2014 no matter what year you\u2019re in or a rookie or a veteran all-star, you\u2019re here because we believe in you and we expect that when you get out there, you will play winning football.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe what our brand is and we believe anyone we put out there can do that and we\u2019re expecting to do that and play and play hard and go 1-0.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saskatchewan has beaten the Bombers in both previous games this season, winning the Labour Day Classic 34-30<\/a> and then the ensuing rematch 21-13.<\/a> While the Riders have clinched the top spot in the west, the Bombers are still trying to clinch a playoff spot.<\/p>\n

The Riders will host the West Final on Nov. 8.<\/p>\n
