Quarterback Vernon Adams Jr., Stampeders face another unbeaten challenge
Vernon Adams Jr. and the Calgary Stampeders face another undefeated challenge.
Calgary (3-1) visits the Saskatchewan Roughriders (4-0) — the CFL’s lone remaining unbeaten squad — on Friday night. Last week, Adams and Co. defeated Winnipeg 37-16, handing the Blue Bombers their first loss of the season.
Saskatchewan is not only at home — where it has won four of its last five games — but comes off a bye week, having amassed a 4-1 record following a week off the last two years. And veteran starter Trevor Harris (head/illness) resumed practising this week after missing the Riders’ 37-18 home win over B.C. on June 28.
Backup Jake Maier stepped in and threw for 170 yards and a TD but AJ Ouellette was the main offensive threat, running for 139 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries.
