REGINA \u2014 The Toronto Argonauts hit the road to Saskatchewan for a date with the Roughriders at Mosaic Stadium on Friday Night Football.<\/p>\n
Toronto picked up its first win of the season in Week 3 over the Ottawa REDBLACKS.<\/p>\n
Saskatchewan improved to 2-0 after downing the Calgary Stampeders.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s three keys to victory for both teams ahead of Friday\u2019s 9:00 p.m. ET kickoff, which can be watched on TSN in Canada, on CBSSN in the U.S., and on CFL+ internationally.<\/p>\n
RELATED TORONTO ARGONAUTS<\/p>\n 1. TURNOVERS<\/p>\n Going up against a powerful Roughriders offence, not giving the ball away will be important. Quarterback Chad Kelly<\/a> tossed four interceptions against Ottawa to bring his season total to five in two games. While head coach Mike Miller\u2019s offence centres around Kelly\u2019s right arm, good decision making has to be top of mind.<\/p>\n 2. HANDS UP<\/p>\n Speaking of teams who like to throw the ball, Riders pivot Trevor Harris<\/a> is among the best in the business. Toronto is tied for the league lead with 10 pass knockdowns and it\u2019s going to take a team effort led by defensive backs DaShaun Amos<\/a> and Tarvarus McFadden<\/a> to keep Saskatchewan\u2019s receiving corps in-check.<\/p>\n 3. TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OPPORTUNITIES<\/p>\n No team has found itself in the red zone as often as the Argos, who have been there 11 times. The offence has converted six of those trips into touchdowns and will need to capitalize on every chance they get against the defending champions.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS<\/p>\n 1. PLAYING KEEP AWAY<\/p>\n Saskatchewan is tops in time of possession and has been the best at limiting its opponents time with the football. Toronto ranks sixth in both categories. The longer the Riders offence has the ball, the more damage they should be able to do. And conversely, less opportunities for Kelly to make big plays.<\/p>\n 2. AJ OUELLETTE OUT MEANS OPPORTUNITIES FOR OTHERS<\/p>\n Running back AJ Ouellette will miss Friday\u2019s game with an ankle injury, so the handoffs will go to Quali Conley and Thomas Bertrand-Hudon<\/a>. Conley was on the team\u2019s practice squad and will make his Canadian Football League debut, while Bertrand-Hudon has 32 yards on eight carries this season.<\/p>\n 3. TRIPLE THREAT<\/p>\n With questions in the run game, Harris will be looking to spread the field via receivers Kian Schaffer-Baker<\/a>, KeeSean Johnson and Samuel Emilus<\/a>. The trio has been difficult to defend early in the season, totalling 665 yards.<\/p>\n NEED TO KNOW:<\/p>\n Toronto has scored 74 points through two games. Saskatchewan has scored 71.
