Whether you're a Winnipeg Blue Bomber fan or a Saskatchewan Roughrider fan, you were treated to an incredible game on Sunday.
In Regina for the Labour Day Weekend Classic, it was the Roughriders who tied it up late and won in overtime, 32-30. Saskatchewan tied it up with just 31 seconds left and scored first in overtime. Winnipeg then quickly scored six points; however, they were unable to convert their two points in the defeat.
Zach Collaros had 279 yards passing in the game while Jake Dolegala continued his impressive stretch of play as he completed 22 passes for 326 yards. Nic Demski had some highlight reel plays and 118 yards for the Blue Bombers while Brady Oliveira had 88 yards rushing. It took Winnipeg more than 15 minutes before scoring their first point of the game and they only had seven points going into halftime.
They played a much better offensive second half with 17 points; however, it wasn't enough. Winnipeg dropped to 9-3 with the loss but they still remain ahead of B.C. for first place in the West Division. Saskatchewan is now four points back of B.C., but they do have a game in hand and have six wins in their first 11 games.
Winnipeg will now look to get back on track and get revenge in the process as they host the Banjo Bowl on Saturday afternoon at 3. The game is sold-out and has been for quite sometime.
