BOMBERS GAMEDAY: Long-time rivalry renewed as Bombers and ... (Winnipeg Sun)

PARTY ON: The atmosphere around the Labour Day Classic in Regina is about as good as it gets in Canadian football outside of Grey Cup week.

Bombers 27, Riders 23 If the reigning MOP has time to throw, the Bombers will make hay. The Bombers, and star Zach Collaros, need to be mindful of the fact that the Riders have already forced three quarterbacks (Masoli, Nathan Rourke, Michael O’Connor) to the sidelines with injuries. The Bombers did win last year and followed it up with another dominant performance a week later in Winnipeg. Fans of the Bombers will make their presence felt and thousands of people from all over Saskatchewan will be in full throat. Article content

A 55-yard field goal by Marc Liegghio lifted the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to a 20-18 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Sunday at Mosaic Stadium.

After Liegghio’s field goal, the Riders drove deep into Winnipeg territory only to have quarterback Cody Fajardo intercepted by Jason Mallett on the 14-yard line. The field goal, the longest of Liegghio’s CFL career, came with 2:49 left in the fourth quarter and gave the Bombers their only lead of the game.

Liegghio lifts Blue Bombers over Roughriders in Labour Day Classic ... (3downnation.com)

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers defeated the Saskatchewan Roughriders by a score of 20-18 in Sunday's Labour Day Classic at Mosaic Stadium.

The Blue Bombers have a 10-7 record all-time in the Banjo Bowl and have won five of the last six contests. Then I realized: this man was wearing a New York Jets jersey with the name and number of Jamal Adams, a defensive back the team traded to the Seattle Seahawks in July 2020. Now 7-0 on the road, Winnipeg has a chance to improve upon a 4-1 home record and put more distance between themselves and the second-place B.C. The only player I could think of with that name is Keion Adams, a second-year defensive end currently on Saskatchewan’s practice roster. I say this every year on Labour Day and will continue to do so until a change is made: the Saskatchewan Roughriders should permanently switch to their retro uniforms. I was out running errands on Sunday around lunchtime and noticed a ton of people wearing Blue Bombers gear in celebration of Sunday’s game. Saskatchewan was well within field goal range and needed to kill the clock ahead of a potential game-winner from Brett Lauther. He has done little to help Saskatchewan’s offence this season and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the unit suddenly came alive in his absence against arguably the best defence in the league. Cody Fajardo didn’t see a lot of pressure early but was faced with increasing levels of duress as the game progressed. The Saskatchewan Roughriders need to incorporate Frankie Hickson into their offence more, regardless of when Jamal Morrow returns from a broken hand. The past two years have been remarkably challenging across the world due to a number of factors including the COVID-19 pandemic, political unrest, an economic downturn, and war. The University of Manitoba Bisons should ask Liegghio to speak with their players regarding how to avoid pressure while punting.

No matter what the score is we believe we have the opportunity to win the football game and all three phases did a great job of sticking together and did a great job of sticking together and came out of here, a hostile environment, with the win.” What the numbers don’t show was an exception deke on what looked to be a sure punt block before he stepped up and delivered a punt downfield. We wanted to come in and play a hard-nosed football game that we know we’re going to get. Them having the confidence in me and the team, the way they are, they’re awesome. I was going out there and it was ‘You don’t need to rush. You don’t need to do anything different, just go out there and smash it. We didn’t want to come in and it just be a one-sided game and a walk in the park. “It speaks to the love we have for each other, sticking together and believing in each other,” said Collaros. “I didn’t know that. I didn’t know that until now,” said Demski when told the result clinched a playoff spot. Every year we come here we know we’re going to get that kind of game. “That environment was amazing,” said Blue Bombers defensive end Willie Jefferson.

The sports world is ever-changing, as are the times. Fajardo is playing better of late. He was sacked three times on Sunday, an improvement from Aug. Overall, Fajardo has elevated his game over the past two games. There wasn’t a flag on the play, but replays showed it was late hit. The drive stalled there as Fajardo’s pass was tipped by Hickson and intercepted by Nick Hallett with one minute 55 seconds remaining. The Blue Bombers had gone ahead 20-18 on a 55-yard field goal by Mark Liegghio with three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

BLUE REVIEW: Bombers come through in the clutch for second ... (Winnipeg Sun)

REGINA — Things have gone so well for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers over the last three seasons that even the Labour Day Classic in hostile territory no longer…

Their best bet just might be getting third place in the East, with just 5-5 Toronto and 4-7 Montreal ahead of them. Lions and 11-1 Bombers. — Bombers global player Thiadric Hansen was helped off the field after suffering a second-half injury and was putting no weight on his left leg. The five-foot-eight running back was very hard to bring down and he continually was able to fight through tackles for more yards. — Hickson was able to rush for 85 yards and catch three passes for 20 more and he looked like he was doing a Charles Roberts impression out there. He also lost a fumble on a Robertson strip sack. It’s unknown if Marino will hear from the league on this one, but how many more chances will this guy get before the Riders finally cut him? They allowed just one touchdown, on the game’s opening drive, and just seven total points over the final three quarters. Not wanting to kick the field goal too quickly, the Riders pressed for the end zone, chose to throw on first down and experienced disaster. Plus it looks like they’ll be getting all-star calibre players like safety Brandon Alexander and centre Michael Couture back down the stretch. The Bombers appear to be just a few wins away from clinching first place in the West Division and hosting the West Final on Nov. Article content
