The Saskatchewan Roughriders are looking to come out on top in the City of Champions this weekend, as they get ready to take on the Montreal Alouettes for the Grey Cup in Edmonton.

It's a re-match of last year's title game, which ended in heartbreaking fashion for the Green and White with the now-infamous "13th Man" debacle.

And while Rider Nation wants redemption, Head Coach Ken Miller says last year's loss would be a poor motivator, and adds it's in the back of the players' minds who took part in it, and as far as this team is concerned, it's 2010 and they'll play Sunday's game for what it is.

 

The Riders are also rebounding from a late-season slump which saw them lose four in a row over the final weeks of the regular season, with a victory against Edmonton in Week 19 turning things around. Quarterback Darian Durant says they never lost confidence during those down weeks, saying they knew what team they had, but just weren't clicking on all cylinders and were missing out on a few small things.

 

Grey Cup festivities are kicking off in Alberta's capital today, with the big game Sunday from Commonwealth Stadium.
