Quarterback Trevor Harris didn’t record any touchdowns himself, but he was nearly flawless passing the ball, completing 23 of 27 attempts for 302 yards. His exceptional performance earned him his first Grey Cup title as a starter and saw him named the game’s Most Valuable Player.

While Harris was almost perfect in the air, receiver Samuel Emilus was absolutely impeccable in his role. The Canadian pass-catcher didn’t drop a single pass, hauling in all 10 targets for 108 yards and earning the game’s Most Valuable Canadian accolade.

Another area where the Saskatchewan Roughriders excelled was in red zone efficiency. They reached the final 20 yards of the field on three occasions and converted each into rushing touchdowns—AJ Ouellette scoring once, and Tommy Stevens adding two.

The Riders’ defensive efforts were equally impressive. Saskatchewan forced three interceptions from Marcus Sayles, Rolan Milligan Jr., and Tevaughn Campbell, along with a key fourth-quarter fumble just inches from their own end zone. These turnovers swung momentum away from Montreal and helped the Roughriders maintain their lead.

Offensively, Saskatchewan was just as disciplined, committing zero turnovers despite facing a potent Montreal defense. Their aggressiveness paid dividends, including a drive where, facing a third-and-two, head coach Corey Mace opted to go for it. The gamble resulted in a drawn penalty and a converted touchdown, showcasing the team’s calculated risk-taking.

The turnover battle ended 4-0 in favor of the Roughriders, underlining their dominance on both sides of the ball.
