Stampeders Dominate In Saskatchewan

Following last night’s postponed game due to smoke, the Stampeders showed no ill effects, dominating the Saskatchewan Roughriders on their way to a 24-10 victory in Regina on Saturday afternoon.

The Stamps leap to 4-1 on the season and into first place in the West, while the Riders fall to 4-1 following their first loss of the season.

STAT PACK

Vernon Adams Jr. – 28-for-36, 428 yards, three touchdowns

Dedrick Mills – 14 rushes, 85 yards

Damien Alford – six receptions, 156 yards, two touchdowns

Clarence Hicks – two tackles, two sacks, one forced fumble

It was a quick start for the Riders on Saturday afternoon as linebacker A.J. Allen picked off Vernon Adams Jr. on the first offensive play of the game. That turnover led to a 47-yard field goal to open the scoring.

Calgary was driving following the Roughriders field-goal but once again turned the ball over, this time on a fumble in Saskatchewan territory.

Following a Riders punt, the Stamps put together an 11 play drive resulting in a 21 yard touchdown from Adams Jr. to Damien Alford for his second major in as many games.

The score was 7-3 Stampeders after one quarter of play.

The next Stampeders drive went 88 yards, including a 36 yard pass to Alford, before Rene Paredes booted a field-goal from 16 yards out.

Calgary forced a turnover of their own on the next Riders possession. Former Roughrider Derrick Moncrief ripped the ball out and recovered it on his own to set the Red and White up with great field position. After driving inside the Riders 10-yardline, Adams Jr’s pass was deflected at the line resulting in an interception.

After forcing another fumble and recovering deep in their own territory, the Stampeders moved the ball down the field and put a touchdown on the board with under 10 seconds to go in the half.

That drive made the score 17-3 Stamps at the half.

The Riders found some life on their first drive of the second half throwing the ball six times on their way to the endzone.

It didn’t take long for the Stamps to answer. Adams Jr. hit Alford for an 81 yard score on the first play of the Stampeders next drive.

The Riders would put together another drive late in the third-quarter but the Stamps defence were able to come up with a huge stop on third down to turn the ball over.

The Stampeders took a 24-10 lead into the fourth-quarter.

The Stamps once again came up with a third down stop in the red zone denying any points from the Riders for a second time in the game.

The Stamps would wrap up the game with a 24-10 victory.
