Rider Nation is doing everything they can to forget about Sunday's 31-2 loss to Winnipeg, and a win tonight will definitely help.

 

The Saskatchewan Roughriders are hosting the top team in the CFL in the Calgary Stampeders, and the Riders have a tall challenege ahead during a down week.

 

Riders Quarterback Darian Durant says they are not a desperate team yet, but they do want a win. He adds, "It's not like this game is sudden death or if we lose, you're out, but at the same time, we definitely want this game."

 

The Riders have won all of their home games this year, but suffered a 40-20 loss to the Stamps on the road earlier this season.

Kick-off from a sold out Mosaic Stadium is at 7:00pm.

 

And a couple of Riders will be heading to Swift Current after tonight's game. Linebacker Sean Lucas and Defensive Back Lance Frazier will appear at the local SLGA Liquor Store from 12:00 to 2:00pm tomorrow to promote Rider Pride wines.

Fans will have a chance to meet the players and get some autographs.
