Riders drop pre-season finale 19-14
The easy part is over, now comes the hard part for the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
The Riders pre-season came to a close on Friday night with a 19-14 loss to the Edmonton Eskimos in a game that features few memorable moments as pre-season games usually do.
Players on the bubble are hoping what they did on film was memorable enough as it was their last chance to make enough of an impression to earn a job on the team's roster to open the 2014 regular season next week against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
When the coaches look back at that film there's a pretty good chance that they'll at least be pleased with what they saw out of the first team offence led by all-star quarterback Darian Durant who put up 113 yards and two touchdowns in the first half.
