REGINA -- The Saskatchewan Roughriders thoroughly outclassed the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Sunday afternoon in Labour Day Classic XLV, beating the Manitobans 27-7, and netting Ken Miller a victory in his first game back on the Rider sidelines.
From the opening kickoff, the Roughriders were a completely different team from the one which lost seven of its first eight games before the coaching change. Quarterback Darian Durant threw a pair of touchdown passes to Chris Getzlaf and one more to Weston Dressler while kicker Chris Milo chipped in with a pair of field goals.
The Riders led 7-0, 10-4 and 20-7 by quarter as they snapped a four game losing streak and improved to 2-7 while the Bombers fell to 7-2. The Bombers had two players disqualified late in the game, and refused interviews with Rider Radio immediately following the game.
The two teams meet again next Sunday in the Banjo Bowl at Canad Inns Stadium. Phone your postgame comments into the Sports Cage After Hours hotline at 546-CAGE and we'll air the best calls on tomorrow's Sports Cage on 620 CKRM from 5-7pm.
