Saskatchewan beats the Eskimos in a close game

55-9.

Saskatchewan scored seven touchdowns, including a 54-yard fumble return by linebacker Kitwana Jones, to move into second place in the Canadian Football League’s West Division ahead of B.C., which hosted Toronto later on Saturday.

It wasn’t all good news

But Saskatchewan isn’t without its problems. First and foremost, head coach Ken Miller is probably no closer to deciding on a starting quarterback for the post-season.

Steven Jyles, who relieved a struggling Darian Durant in last week’s 30-29 win over Hamilton, got the nod against Edmonton — the Riders’ third starting pivot in as many weeks.

But he gave way to Michael Bishop after completing seven of 13 passes for 99 yards and throwing two interceptions. Bishop connected on nine of 10 passes for 148 yards with two completions for majors.

Despite the big win, I am not liking Saskatchewan’s chances going into the post-season with Michael Bishop as our quarterback.  He was mediocre in Toronto and he has been mediocre here.

    No less than 2 people in rather trusted positions of leadership within the church I serve mentioned this score to me with somewhat more than usual relish.
