Key Player Matchups

  • QB Battle: If Pelletier plays, his dual-threat ability could stretch Saskatchewan’s linebackers. Huskies’ QB Mason Nyhus is the more polished passer, with a strong deep ball.
  • RB Josh Ewanchyna (Saskatchewan) vs. Rams Front Seven – Ewanchyna’s power running is a key weapon; Regina has allowed 145 rushing yards per game.
  • WR Ajou Ajou (Saskatchewan) vs. Rams Secondary – Ajou’s size and NFL-camp pedigree make him a mismatch on the outside.
  • Rams Pass Rush vs. Huskies Offensive Line – With Summach out, Saskatchewan’s protection could be vulnerable to edge blitzes.
