Last week's Saskatchewan Roughriders 21-18 win over Edmonton was highlighted by quarterback Cody Fajardo's return to Mosaic Stadium.
Fajardo hadn't played in Regina since leaving the Green and White in 2022. Forty percent of voters at SportsCage.com say that they cheered for Fajardo on Friday.
Legendary Riders quarterback Darion Durant knows that returning to Regina as an opponent isn't easy.
“When you play for Saskatchewan, you know that you're playing in front of the best fans in the league. You know you have the best fan base. You know the support is not like any other city in the CFL. So when you leave, especially when you leave on terms that are not on your own, you're fired up to come back. You want to prove them wrong. So it's not easy. You have to really control your emotions, and you know the crowd is going to be a factor. You know that you're going to have to be on a silent cadence, and it is difficult. So you can pencil in one or two pre-snap penalties a game, and that doesn't help with field position. But you're fired up to come and play, and you also know that it's one of the toughest places to play in the league.”
