Trevor Harris was ice-cold efficient, and Samuel Emilus did the damage \u2014 Saskatchewan held off BC to move to 1-0.<\/p>\n
The Saskatchewan Roughriders<\/a> gutted out a 31\u201327 home win over the BC Lions<\/a> at Mosaic Stadium on TSN, moving to 1-0 on the young season. The Lions<\/a> drop to 0-1 after surrendering a 65-yard passing edge and enough late fourth-quarter points<\/a> to seal the deal. Saskatchewan sits comfortably in the West standings early, while BC heads east needing answers on defense.<\/p>\n Box Score<\/p>\n Team<\/p>\n Q1<\/p>\n Q2<\/p>\n Q3<\/p>\n Q4<\/p>\n OT<\/p>\n Final<\/p>\n BC Lions<\/p>\n 0<\/p>\n 10<\/p>\n 7<\/p>\n 10<\/p>\n 0<\/p>\n 27<\/p>\n Saskatchewan Roughriders<\/p>\n 7<\/p>\n 10<\/p>\n 4<\/p>\n 10<\/p>\n 0<\/p>\n 31<\/p>\n See full player stats and game details<\/a><\/p>\n Game Highlights<\/p>\n Top PerformersSaskatchewan RoughridersBC Lions<\/p>\n Nathan Rourke<\/a> (QB) \u2014 24\/37, 330 yds, 0 TD, 0 INT | 5 rush att, 59 yds, 1 TD<\/p>\n Justin McInnis<\/a> (WR) \u2014 8 rec, 129 yds, 0 TD<\/p>\n James Butler<\/a> (RB) \u2014 9 att, 35 yds, 2 TD<\/p>\n T.J.
