Saskatchewan would cut it to a one score game early in the third quarter, as AJ Ouellette would jump up and over the pile for a one-yard touchdown.

But, as mentioned none of Durant's tenure and accomplishments in the green and white would be possible without Roy Shivers who oversaw the team as general manager from 1999-2006.

Running back AJ Ouellette has been a full participant during the first two days of practice and looks set to start his first game since Aug. 17th against the Alouettes.

'He's friendly, body language, catches everything, he's very smooth in his routes. He plays the ball well, has good body control.'

"I mean it's good, I'm being recognized for what I'm doing, I'm just trying to make sure I'm the best player I can possibly be every week."

For the first-year Rider, it was the fast pace of the CFL game that caught him off guard originally and took some getting used to.

After their first three games, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats are still looking for their first win of the season following a 36-20 loss in Saskatchewan.

A late turnover allowed Saskatchewan to rally past the Tiger-Cats 33-30 in Hamilton's home opening game. The loss drops the Ticats to 0-2.

Perhaps most notably, the team will now be without backup quarterback Mason Fine. Fine spent the last three seasons with the Riders.

The veteran linebacker retired Thursday after seven CFL seasons. But Dean will be remaining with the Saskatchewan Roughriders as the club's player-personnel coordinator.
