Glenn lights up Tiger-Cats as Roughriders win 1st of the year

Kevin Glenn was a one-man wrecking crew on Saturday night, as the Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback played a part in four touchdowns during the club's 37-20 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

The veteran signal-caller threw for a whopping 380 yards and two scores, while also adding two on the ground in the Roughriders' first win at the new Mosaic Stadium.

Naaman Roosevelt was Glenn's favored target all night, as the 29-year-old hauled in 10 passes for 167 yards, with Duron Carter and Bakari Grant adding seven and six catches, respectively. Cameron Marshall added 71 yards rushing on the ground on just 12 carries as the Roughriders' offense was clicking throughout the night.

The same could not be said of the anemic Hamilton attack, as quarterback Zach Collaros finished with just 189 yards passing in the loss. The rushing attack was nowhere to be found, with Ross Scheuerman only managing 19 yards on the ground, and the team finished with a laughable 27 rushing yards total.

The Tiger-Cats have now scored just one offensive touchdown in two games and sit last in the league in a number of offensive categories. It doesn't get any easier for the club, which has the powerful defense of the BC Lions next on the schedule.

The Riders narrowly lost their first two games of the season by a combined four points, and coupled with Saturday's win, appear to be making strong progress in Chris Jones' second season at the helm.
