Maier leads unbeaten Roughriders to 37-18 win over struggling Lions
REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders won the battle of backup quarterbacks Saturday by defeating the B.C. Lions 37-18 at Mosaic Stadium.
Jake Maier, replacing injured starter Trevor Harris, made his first start for the Riders while Jeremiah Masoli started for the Lions for the second straight week with Nathan Rourke sidelined with an oblique injury.
The victory improves Saskatchewan’s record to 4-0, while the Lions drop to 1-3.
Saskatchewan tailback A.J. Ouellette, a prized free-agent signing last season, had his first 100-yard rushing game for the Riders, gaining 139 yards on 23 carries. His previous single game high for the Riders was 98 yards on 20 carries in a 36-20 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on June 23, 2024.
