Mason Fine — who was making his first start of the season at quarterback for the sskroughriders — completed 32-of-41 passes for 284 yards, but also threw two interceptions CFL
And it appeared Saskatchewan had another sack in the Lions’ end zone for what would have been a safety to open the scoring, but it was called back due to a roughing the passer call against Riders’ defensive lineman DeMarcus Christmas.“I thought I was going to win that,” said the head coach. “That was just a tackle.
And as Saskatchewan tried to respond to that score, the Lions defence didn’t allow Fine to move the ball down the field. The Riders cut the lead to 7-3 in the second quarter after long snapper Jorgen Hus recovered a fumble on an attempted on-side punt, which led to a Brett Lauther field goal. The Riders looked to respond, but a gamble on third-hand-two from their own 42-yard line, resulted in a turnover on downs.
After the Riders recovered another fumble on a punt return, Fine connected with Tevin Jones for a 44-yard pass, the longest of the game for Saskatchewan, but the Riders couldn’t put it in the end zone as Lauther kicked his third field goal of the night with 1:53 to go, cutting the lead to 16-9.Article content
Despite the losing effort, the head coach saw enough from the 26-year-old Fine to stay patient with his development.
