Zach Collaros enjoyed an auspicious debut as the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ starting quarterback on Friday. Zach Collaros was splendid, if not spectacular, in his first start as Saskatchewan’s quarterback.

Without further flimsy preamble, here is a dissection of the Roughriders’ first season-opening victory since 2014 … Given the team’s improvement under head coach, etc., Chris Jones, how can the sombre “post-mortem” title still be applicable? Summer, especially, was a bummer in 2015 (when the Roughriders lost their first nine games) and 2016 (when the team had a stellar 1-10 start).Įven last year, the Roughriders had records of 1-3 and 2-4 before finishing at 10-8, winning a first-round CFL playoff game, and coming within one play of a Grey Cup berth.Īnd now, Saskatchewan sports a 1-0 slate after defeating the visiting Toronto Argonauts 27-19 on Friday.
