Nice pick and six by Yell.

Great one-handed pick-six by Ronnie Yell, who is having a strong game. Leone boots the extra point right down the middle.

Riders praying that Durant stays healthy. No back up plan.

I wonder if Brandon Stewart will get some reps at nickelback in the next game? I like his height advantage over Clarke for the position. But yes, Clarke is not getting his name mentioned the right way especially with that roughing the passer penalty. He pulled up a little at the end but why even give the ref an opportunity to call it?

Ugggh! It looks like they forgot their helmets at home and had to borrow them from a local high school team.

Quite frankly, that uniform combo is making me a little nauseous. :puke:

It seems that you are right. We'll have to wait to see what they look like when they get their act together. I guess this is old news, but I couldn't believe that it was true that they would use a different orange for home and away. Has this ever been done before in pro sports? Bizarre!

Team looks alright for pre-season #1... But yeah, I just have to chime in on the helmets! UGLY!

The new jersey I was on the fence leaning towards dislike but they could grow on me, those helmets though are hideous! Bring back the standard logo please!

This actually sucks for both teams....if they can't get the 2nd half in, that is 25% of the evaluation time down the drain. This might be difference between getting a job or getting cut.

When is the first round of training camp cuts have to be done?

I'm guessing they had to wear the black home jersey/unis because the RoughRiders wanted to wear their lighter jerseys. And so they opted to wear the away helmet so it got some exposure this preseason.

Just guessing, not judging...

I believe that the roster have to be down to 65 by Tuesday

The black helmets will be paired with the orange jerseys at B.C. Place. That should look better.
