Riders ready for another new Bombers QB in the Banjo Bowl
For the eighth straight year, the Saskatchewan Roughriders will be facing a different quarterback in the Banjo Bowl.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers starting quarterback Drew Willy is still recovering from a knee injury. That means the Bombers new pivot will be Matt Nichols, who was just acquired by the team a week ago.
“He’s a good player. He has a strong arm and quick release,” said linebacker Jeff Knox Jr.
Nichols will bring something that no other pivot on the Bombers depth chart can bring right now – experience.
