Key Player Matchups
Trevor Harris (SSK) vs. Edmonton Secondary
Harris has been efficient all season, but Edmonton’s DBs will try to capitalize on pressure situations.
Cody Fajardo (EDM) vs. Saskatchewan Pass Rush
Fajardo has stabilized the Elks’ offense since taking over, but must avoid costly turnovers against a Riders defense that thrives on pressure.
Thomas Bertrand-Hudon (SSK) vs. Edmonton Front Seven
Saskatchewan’s ground game has been key in controlling tempo. Edmonton’s linebackers must step up to limit early-down gains.
