REGINA \u2014 The Saskatchewan Roughriders began their title defence with a game very reminiscent of their Western Final against the BC Lions, winning 31-27 with a late score in front of a boisterous Mosaic Stadium crowd.<\/p>\n

Trevor Harris<\/a> led a Riders\u2019 air raid with 417 yards through the air while connecting on three touchdowns. Kian Schaffer-Baker<\/a> and KeeSean Johnson both topped 100 yards as the wide receiver duo had 165 and 131 yards respectively. Samuel Emilus<\/a> was the game hero catching all six of his targets for 91 yards and securing all of Harris\u2019 touchdown throws.<\/p>\n

3 \u2013 SAMUEL EMILUS TOUCHDOWNS<\/p>\n

Emilus was Harris\u2019 favourite target in the red zone, bringing in all three of Harris\u2019 touchdown throws. The 28-year-old got Mosaic rocking with two early touchdown grabs before capping off the game-winning drive with a late score to regain the lead for the Riders. The fourth-year wideout was a reliable target bringing in all six of his targets for 91 yards on the evening.<\/p>\n

417 \u2013 TREVOR HARRIS PASSING YARDS<\/p>\n

The 40-year-old signal caller showed no signs of his age Saturday night going 30 of 36 for 417 yards and three touchdown throws. The 112th Grey Cup Most Valuable Player came out of the gates firing after an emphatic banner ceremony going 13 of 14 on the first two Rider offensive drives capping them both with touchdowns. Harris showed poise leading the Riders down the field in the fourth quarter. Down three points with just over three minutes to go, the veteran quarterback led a 92-yard game-winning drive leaving less than a minute of time left for Nathan Rourke<\/a> to try to tie.<\/p>\n

51:35 \u2013 TIME WITH THE LEAD<\/p>\n

The Roughriders worked the clock on a grinding first drive, scoring 5:32 into the first quarter. The Riders would hold onto a lead up until 3:44 left in the fourth quarter. Harris and the Green and White offence wasted no time grabbing that lead back as they struck with 51 seconds left in the fourth quarter to start their season off with a victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the CFL\u2019s Official Charity Partner, World Vision Canada works alongside players, teams, and fans to create meaningful…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":735775,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-735774","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\/735774","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=735774"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735774\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/735775"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=735774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=735774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=735774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
