REGINA \u2014 For the Saskatchewan Roughriders, two is better than one. Starting quarterback Trevor Harris<\/a> continued his stellar season on Friday, while backup Tommy Stevens<\/a> did more damage on the ground with three touchdowns scored as the Riders took down the Ottawa REDBLACKS 42-20.<\/p>\n

The Riders won the turnover battle and got some electric play from both of their quarterbacks late in the game to get past the REDBLACKS and make it back-to-back wins.<\/p>\n

4 \u2013 TURNOVERS FORCED BY SASKATCHEWAN<\/p>\n

While the Riders\u2019 offence really came alive after the break, their defence was resolute throughout the contest, putting pressure on Jake Maier<\/a> and silencing the visitor\u2019s ground game. Antoine Brooks Jr. was the first to react to a fumbled snap from Ottawa\u2019s Kalil Pimpleton<\/a> in the first quarter, although a Harris interception would mean no points were scored off of the turnover. With Maier under duress in the pocket in the second quarter, an incomplete pass on third down meant a turnover on downs, with Saskatchewan going the other way to make it a tie game.<\/p>\n

With the Riders holding a 14-point lead early in the fourth, a Jonathan Edouard<\/a> interception on Maier cooled off any hope of a late push from the REDBLACKS. A fumble recovery by Benoit Marion<\/a> in garbage time was just icing on the cake for Saskatchewan\u2019s defence.<\/p>\n

3 \u2013 TOMMY STEVENS TOUCHDOWNS<\/p>\n

He just can\u2019t stop scoring. Stevens made it back-to-back hat-trick games with three more majors on Friday Night Football as he powered his team to victory in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

For his first of the game, Stevens rolled in from a yard out as is typical from the short-yardage specialist. Stevens then scored his next two from the shotgun, pounding the rock into the end zone from six yards out with just over 10 minutes to go, then icing the game with a seven-yard touchdown after the three-minute warning.<\/p>\n

14 \u2013 CONSECUTIVE TREVOR HARRIS COMPLETIONS<\/p>\n

Harris was in flow state to close out Friday\u2019s ball game, throwing 14 straight completions to end the contest as Saskatchewan\u2019s offence got into rhythm at the opportune time.<\/p>\n

Harris missed on his second pass attempt of the second half but from there he was perfect. Saskatchewan\u2019s star pivot then went 14-14 for 196 yards and a touchdown, leading his offence on four touchdown drives to end the game.<\/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":850319,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-850318","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\/850318","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=850318"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/850318\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/850319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=850318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=850318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=850318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
