Roughriders look to trample Lions on the road

The Saskatchewan Roughriders are pushing for their third win in an otherwise weak West Division when they hit the road to B.C. on Saturday.

Despite having scored more points than the Lions this season, the Roughriders have also given up the most points in the league. That said, the lack of defense goes both ways.

Saskatchewan's defensive unit has given up a CFL-worst 30.4 points per game. Meanwhile, the Lions' defense has allowed a league-high 127.6 rushing yards per game.

So far this season, the Roughriders are 0-2 against the Lions. Running back Jerome Messam is coming off a one-touchdown performance with 111 rushing yards in the win against Montreal.
