Battle positions take centre stage as Riders face Elks
The evaluation process continues for head coach Corey Mace as the Saskatchewan Roughriders head into their second preseason game.
Saskatchewan is in Edmonton to take on the Elks on Saturday to wrap up its preseason. Kickoff for the game is set for 2 p.m. at Commonwealth Stadium.
“I think we got a lot of answers (after our first preseason game),” Mace said at Griffiths Stadium during training camp. “Understanding for those guys who end up playing this week, seeing if they learn from their mistakes. There were still a couple of things we have to clean up but that’s testing for us as coaches as well – make sure that our message is clear and we’re giving these guys exactly what we want.”
A number of presumed starters will be playing for Edmonton in their first preseason game and in front of a home crowd. That includes newly signed quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson and last year’s starter Tre Ford.
