Riders lose 19-9 to Lions in Fine’s first start of 2023

Jul 22, 2023 | 9:09 PM

The Saskatchewan Roughriders’ offence couldn’t find much of a spark with a new quarterback under centre.

The Riders only managed three field goals in a 19-9 CFL loss to the B.C. Lions in Vancouver on Saturday.

Mason Fine, who was making his first start of the season due to a knee injury to Trevor Harris, completed 32 of 41 pass attempts for 284 yards and two interceptions.

The Riders’ ground game was held in check throughout the game, with running back Jamal Morrow only gaining 11 yards on 12 carries.

B.C. lost quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. in the first quarter of the game after he suffered an apparent knee injury after being sacked by defensive end Pete Robertson.
