On the first play of the third, Marcus Thigpen took a handoff from Brandon Bridge and ran 80 yards for a touchdown. That was followed by a 32 yard Bridge to Naaman Roosevelt TD and a 61 yard punt return TD by Christion Jones. Saskatchewan is now 3-2 on the season and face Calgary on July 28 at Mosaic.

Where are the Jones haters this morning?
What can't you say about Labatte and his toughness! Good on Rod and Luke for naming him the offensive game star.
Two straight weeks Hamilton has handed the Riders a victory. Two against Calgary and one against Edmonton coming up. They will be 3-5 in short order.
Bridge didn't do anything to show me he is a starter. Mitchell and Reilly will eat that secondary alive and the Calgary defence will completely shut down a still less than capable Riders offence.
Koo koo Mulunder bullied RP to agree with that asinine choice of offensive game star it was downright offensive. Marcus Thigpen ignited the Riders offense right out the second half gate, he's the game star of 2 back to back games now ending in victory.
Calgary defense will shut down alright as they are incapable of handling the Riders offence. Bookmark it!
