Riders turn to Fine in pivotal showdown with Stampeders
In an up-and-down season, the Saskatchewan Roughriders are hoping everything will be Fine with their playoff hopes on the line.
The Riders’ coaching staff has made a change at the game’s most important position, going with Mason Fine over incumbent Cody Fajardo as the CFL team’s starting quarterback.
“We need a spark and we feel like Mason has done a good job of staying ready and getting ready,” Roughriders head coach Craig Dickenson said when asked Wednesday why the move was being made.
“We just need to be better on offence. We’re not scoring enough points. We need to score more and that involves all of us. But we feel like maybe with a different quarterback, we can give teams a little different look and hopefully score a few more points.”
