Now for the elephant in the room. The Roughriders have had a ton of luck with the weather this season, but it appears that has run out. Rain has been pouring down all day in Regina and that isn’t going to change this evening, with a 100 per cent chance of showers or thunderstorms all night. Temperatures are comfortable at 19 C, with a bit of wind from the south east at 30 km/h gusting to 50 km/h.
The weather has had an effect on the pre-game festivities, as covered in this announcement from the Roughriders:
Due to weather conditions, this afternoon’s Coors Light Party in the Park has been cancelled. Fans can still join the fun early with SaskTel Plaza of Honour Inductee autographs, poster-making, and $5 beers in the Sports Cage Lounge beginning at 2:00 PM.

It’s Week 15 of the Canadian Football League season, it’s the Saskatchewan Roughriders taking on the Montreal Alouettes on a rainy Saturday night from Mosaic Stadium!
The Roughriders’ storybook season continues, with their 10-2 record their best start since 1970. Saskatchewan is in first place in the West Division and the CFL and can clinch a playoff spot with a win this evening.
The Alouettes come into the game with a 5-7 record and are looking to stay ahead of Toronto in the battle for second place in the East Division.
Saskatchewan’s depth chart: The Roughriders are a bit banged up in the defensive secondary, with both Marcus Sayles (head) and Tevaughn Campbell (knee) game-time decisions. Otherwise, the line-up is largely the same as the Labour Day Classic, with offensive lineman Daniel Johnson making his return and serving as the sixth man on the o-line.
Trevor Harris starts at quarterback and has completed 232 of 322 passes for 3,153 yards, 19 touchdowns and only eight interceptions. His 112.2 efficiency continues to lead the entire CFL.
Running back A.J. Ouellette has 169 carries for 852 yards, which has him sitting third in the CFL coming into the contest. His five touchdowns are fifth in the league. Receiver KeeSean Johnson leads the team with 66 catches for 908 yards, third in the league, and three touchdowns, Dohnte Meyers has 47 catches for 762 yards and a team-best six touchdowns.
Linebacker Jameer Thurman leads the team with 65 tackles, while defensive end Malik Carney is tops on the team and third in the CFL with seven sacks. Defensive tackle Micah Johnson is right behind with six sacks. Campbell is tops in interceptions with six.
Montreal’s depth chart: McLeod Bethel-Thompson is the biggest line-up change for the Alouettes as he returns a quarterback after missing the previous three games with an elbow injury. He has a 1-4 record, having completed 100 of 153 passes for 957 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions.
Sean Thomas-Erlington leads the ground attack with 88 carries for 386 yards and two touchdowns, Travis Thies has 69 carries for 359 yards. Tyler Snead is Montreal’s top receiver with 58 catches for 763 yards and three touchdowns. Cole Spieker leads the team with four touchdown catches but is out of the line-up.
Linebacker Darnell Sankey leads with 60 tackles, defensive end Isaac Adeyemi-Berglund is tops with eight sacks. Defensive lineman Shawn Oakman also has four sacks, but joins fellow DL Shawn Lemon on the injured list. Cornerback Kabian Ento leads with three interceptions.
The Rider Broadcast Network pregame show is currently on the air, with Tegan Witko, Justin Dunk and Wes Cates bringing pre-game features and updates. Dave Thomas and Luc Mullinder will have the call at 5 p.m.
