Rookie QB Adams lifts Alouettes over Roughriders 19-14 in first career start
REGINA — A soaking rain wasn’t going to ruin Vernon Adams’ first start in the CFL.
The rookie quarterback got the call on Saturday and lifted his Montreal Alouettes to a 19-14 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders at Mosaic Stadium.
“I’m just so happy for this offence and just finding that fight at the end of the day and getting that win,” Adams said after he helped his team end a two-game losing skid and improve to 5-11.
“We kept our composure the whole day… I want to thank the guys for having my back the whole game.”
