Montrealwon the first match of regular season 37-13at Molson Stadium on June 23 with an asterisk. Saskatchewan played his second road game in five days and traveled cross-country after just one day of complete practice.

This time it's probably more difficult to beat the rider. Historically, Saskatchewan has been a strong home team, boasting a 5-2 record last season.

"I know the fans are violent, excited and excited," says Harris. "It's our responsibility to do better than last week. Unfortunately, we have to be able to finish the drive ... and be able to hit the touchdown."

Ars's 37 points last week were fooled by Vernon Adams Jr. after being replaced last week at the firststart of the season, given Harris. rice field. In Toronto — Generated one offensive touchdown. David Kote kicked five field goals andChandler Worthyreturned the opening kick-off for score and safety. Mark Antoine decoy returned another major passcut.

Harris, who avoided that, said. "I feel the depth of the route at the receiver and the angle at which the receiver wants to go. I'm just trying to get out there."

Michael Wakefield should receive additional play time while Canada's Vincent de Jardin debuts in Montreal. Seawell's departure created a non-imported opening filled by Antonio Simmons at the rush end off the practice roster.

"Whenever you lose such a man, it will always affect you," head coach Khari Jones said of Seawell. "I think we're okay. To put pressure on the quarterback, we do a lot of defense in the scheme. Fortunately, it doesn't necessarily depend on one person. He Makes a difference, there is no doubt about it, and he made a difference in the previous game.

"It's difficult. No doubt. They are home. I'm playing in and hurt in the last game I'm sure. They want to prove they're also top teams. It's going to be a fight, but we're heading for it. I think. "

Jones denied affecting the team, but Ars was delayed in arriving at Regina because the bus to Mirabel Airport was delayed due to charter flights. Jones decides to cancel the scheduled walkthrough training.

"There were some problems during my time here," Jones said. "The guys react well to it. They don't worry about it. Don't worry. It's just part of the business we're working on. Sometimes it doesn't work. Don't get too involved in it. You just move forward. "
