When the University of Saskatchewan Huskies travel to Vancouver to tangle with the UBC Thunderbirds in this Saturday’s Canada West semi-final, it will mark their 11th straight trip to the post-season.

The Huskies’ play this season has been a larger reflection of the play of their quarterbacks. Trent Peterson and Jahlani Gilbert-Knorren have split time under centre this season, with one relieving the other when trouble ensued. Until Saturday’s game against the Bears, that is. Peterson started for the Dogs and was red hot from the [...]

The Huskies suffered a rare one-sided loss against the Calgary Dinos a couple of weeks ago. The offense sputtered and a veteran defense gave up 38 points.
