Quick Hits
Hamilton rolled with a two-quarterback rotation, and both Tre Ford and Harrison Frost threw touchdown passes in the win.
Saskatchewan out-gained Hamilton in the air on a per-attempt basis in the first half but couldn't finish drives, managing just 9 rushing yards on the day as a team.
Two interceptions off Harris — one each by Stavros Katsantonis and Reggie Stubblefield — flipped field position at the worst times for the Riders.
