The Saskatchewan Roughriders enter Saturday’s WestJet Canada Day Weekend clash as one of just two undefeated teams remaining in the CFL. At 3-0, the Green and White have built their perfect record on dramatic comebacks, with all three victories decided in the final three minutes by seven points or less.

Keys to the Game

Maier’s First Impression: Jake Maier makes his Saskatchewan debut after Trevor Harris was ruled out due to illness and head injury. The veteran quarterback must maintain the offensive rhythm that has produced a division-high 98 points.
Lions’ Passing Attack: With Keon Hatcher leading the league in receiving yards, BC must exploit a Roughriders secondary that has allowed over 1,000 passing yards through three games.
Turnover Battle: Saskatchewan is tied for the league lead with 10 sacks while allowing just two, creating pressure that could force mistakes from whichever Lions quarterback takes the field.
