Saskatchewan Huskies Face Crucial Match Against Regina Rams
The Saskatchewan Huskies are gearing up for a crucial match against the Regina Rams this Friday night at Griffiths Stadium. The game, considered a playoff-like contest by Huskies quarterback Anton Amundrud, could have a significant impact on each team's standings and potential home playoff game.
The Huskies are currently trailing the Rams by one game in their conference, with Regina holding the top spot. The team is determined to turn the tables and secure a share of first place.
Coach Scott Flory, in his 9th season as the head coach of the Huskies, is focusing on winning this week and going 1-0, rather than looking too far ahead. He emphasises the importance of winning on home turf, especially in a crucial matchup against the top team in the conference.
The Rams' high-powered offense, led by running attack Marshal Erichson, who is averaging 160 yards rushing per game, poses a significant challenge. However, Flory and the Huskies are not deterred. They are eager to right their wrongs from the previous game against Manitoba Bisons this week.
In that game, the Huskies had a 17-0 lead before Manitoba came back to win 21-20. Flory believes the team could have won if they had capitalized on opportunities in the second half. He stresses the need to nip problems and turn the tables quicker to overcome adversity.
Ryker Frank, a key player for the Huskies, refers to the upcoming match as "Homecoming Two." The team is treating the game like a playoff game, determined to take care of home field and secure a much-needed victory.
Flory considers Manitoba a well-coached team that plays Saskatchewan tough. He believes the Huskies' leadership, including himself and the coaches, need to do a better job to ensure a different outcome this time around.
The only scheduled meeting between the Rams and Huskies this regular season could be the deciding factor in their conference standings. The Huskies are ready for the challenge and determined to make it a memorable night at Griffiths Stadium.
