Zach Collaros hopes Blue Bombers bounce back against Roughriders
Nic Demski returns from an ankle injury and Redha Kramdi is back after missing six games as Winnipeg makes four roster changes.
- On Saturday, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers host the Saskatchewan Roughriders for a Banjo Bowl rematch at Princess Auto Stadium. The Riders aim to sweep the two-game series after last Sunday's 32-26 overtime victory.
- Seeking to reverse their previous loss, the Blue Bombers made four roster changes, including the return of reliable receiver Nic Demski and Safety Redha Kramdi after missing six games with a hand injury.
- After throwing for 362 yards in the previous game, Saskatchewan quarterback Trevor Harris remains unfazed by the intense atmosphere. Harris said he embraces chaotic environments, noting, "I feel like the more chaotic an environment is, the more calm I get."
- To bolster special teams, Saskatchewan swapped placekicker Alex Hale for Dawson Hodge after Hale went one-for-three on field goals last game. Harris described the rematch as a 'chess match within the chess match.'
- A victory would grant the 8-4 Riders a six-point advantage in the standings over the 6-6 Blue Bombers. Collaros, sacked three times in the Labour Day Classic, said losing drives him hungrier to return stronger.
