Roughriders’ Mitchell Gale will start as quarterback against Ottawa
Before the game against B.C., Mitchell Gale couldn’t quite pinpoint the last time he saw significant time at quarterback, but Friday will be a game he won’t forget.
It was confirmed by head coach Chris Jones that Gale will start in place of an injured Darian Durant in the Riders match up with the Ottawa Redblacks.
Gale came to the Riders just two weeks ago in a deal that brought him to Saskatchewan and sent defensive lineman Shawn Lemon to the Argonauts. At the time, Jones said Gale was attractive to him because he already would have some familiarity with the offence.
Jones reiterated that after Saturday’s game.
