TOUGH LOSS

Last-play field goal lifts Stampeders past Riders; Harris injured

The Saskatchewan Roughriders might have lost a lot more than just Saturday’s CFL game against the Calgary Stampeders.

Riders quarterback Trevor Harris had to leave the field on the back of a cart after appearing to suffer a knee injury in the fourth quarter of the contest.

Mason Fine came into the game and threw two touchdowns — including a Hail Mary to Tevin Jones on a third-and-24 in the last minute — but a 50-yard Rene Paredes field goal as time expired secured the 33-31 Calgary win.

Harris had 115 yards passing prior to the injury.

Fine came in and led the Riders to their first offensive touchdown of the game, finishing it with a pass to running back Jamal Morrow.

The Riders’ offence struggled in the game to put up points, but returner Mario Alford answered the call. He returned two punts for touchdowns. The second marked his sixth return touchdown in green and white, passing Corey Holmes to become the Riders’ all-time leader in that category.

Stamps quarterback Jake Maier threw two touchdowns in the game. Stamps running back Dedrick Mills had the Stamps’ other major score.
