Big challenge ahead for Huskie defence

Despite the 3 point victory that the Huskies earned over UBC in the regular season, the defence wasn’t entirely pleased with their performance on that night. While the unit is generally regarded as the strength of the Huskies, they allowed 501 yards to the TBirds. The defence is looking forward to facing UBC, and they’re [...]

DeWitt on challenge of facing UBC’s Billy Greene

The Huskie defence is going to be facing a high octane offence when they go up against UBC on Saturday afternoon. The TBirds averaged an impressive 475 yards net offence during the regular season. They boast having the likely CanWest m.v.p. as the triggerman to their attack. “They’re very good, led by Billy Greene,” remarked [...]

Huskie offense looks to maintain momentum

With 628 net yards gained against the Alberta Golden Bears, the Huskie offense seems to be getting on track at the right time of the season. “It was a big game for the entire offense,” stated slotback Jeff Moore. “We clicked on all cylinders – the OLine played great, the quarterbacks hit everything, and the [...]

Peterson’s poised performance providing playoff promise

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 [...]

Towriss & Dobie explain the difficulty of getting to, and winning, Vanier Cups

Over the last twelve years, the CanWest champion has won their respective bowl game an impressive nine times. Yet, of those last nine Vanier Cup appearances, the CanWest champ has only emerged victorious twice: the 2007 Manitoba Bisons, and the Huskies third Vanier Cup championship in 1998. I had the opportunity to speak with the [...]

From the Grandstand – Volume #4

All Huskie fans, myself included, have many fond memories of UofS football over the last several years.

Saskatchewan Huskies: First Place Underdogs

It may seem hard to believe, but many feel the first place Saskatchewan Huskies, who host the Calgary Dinos this Saturday, are the underdog for the Hardy Cup/Trophy match.
