Eskimos dispatch Riders 30-5
It was expected to be a rough night for the Riders in Edmonton on Friday and was it ever.
The Riders are now 0-6 to start the season following a 30-5 loss to the Eskimos at Commonwealth Stadium.
“We had too many mistakes around a young quarterback. You got to be perfect around. You have to give him a chance to be successful,” said head coach Corey Chamblin.
The odds were heavily stacked against the Riders heading into this game. With a rookie quarterback in Brett Smith making his first professional start against one of the league’s best defences, few gave the Riders a chance.
