3:48 p.m.

3:46 p.m.
A short rush and incomplete pass and the Riders are punting. Winnipeg gets the ball back on their own 11 to start their first drive of the second half. 13:10 to play in the third quarter.

3:26 p.m.
Things could have gone a lot better for Saskatchewan in the first 30 miinutes, and it looked like it was going to be a disaster of a half for awhile there in the second quarter, but some decent play salvages things. Offence definitely has to be better after the break.
3:24 p.m.
Winnipeg gets home for a sack but goes offside. Hodge has his first ever CFL field goal attempt from 33 yards on the final play of the half. It's good. 10-3 Winnipeg heading into halftime.
3:22 p.m.
Djete gets wide open on the sideline but Holm gets across to bat down a sure touchdown catch. Riders at the Winnipeg 41 with 28 seconds remaining in the first half.
3:20 p.m.
Riders defence comes up big, eventually forcing Winnipeg to punt from their own four. A good return by Lechter is negated by a hold, Riders ball on the Winnipeg 46 with 51 seconds remaining.
3:15 p.m.
Two incomplete passes and Riders are punting. It's a good one and Winnipeg's next drive starts at their own six with 2:06 left in the half.
3:31 p.m.
Hand off to Conley, flip back to Harris, and his deep pass to Duncan-Busby goes for 27 to the Winnipeg 43.
3:11 p.m.
And then Vaughters gets home off the edge on a three man run for the fourth sack of the half. That's an 11-yard loss and Castillo has to kick a 31 yard field goal. It's good, 10-0 Winnipeg with 2:42 to play until halftime. Thank you defensive line!
3:08 p.m.
Rose gets to Collaros for the sack and a four-yard loss at the three-minute warning. Winnipeg ball on the Saskatchewan 12.
3:05 p.m.
Swing pass to Demski and short run by Perkins and it's first and goal from the Riders eight.
3:03 p.m.
Looks like Winnipeg has a touchdown after a third-down plunge by Perkins that gets free and goes 23 yards into the end zone. It's call back due to holding, but Winnipeg still gets the first down. 6:34 left in the first half after the Riders catch a huge break.
3:00 p.m.
Sayles takes a pass interference penalty and Oliviera runs for another nine and Winnipeg is at the 23. Turning into a disaster of a half for Saskatchewan.

Pass to Demski and run by Oliviera and Winnipeg is over midfield at Saskatchewan's 42.
2:55 p.m.
An 11-yard run by Conley is called back due to an offside, Bridges has a catch that is knocked loss by a hit as he lands. Djete has a 13-yard catch up to the 43 and the Riders punt. Ball goes out at the 34, Winnipeg ball on their own 44 to start their next drive.

Touchdown Winnipeg. One play later Nield gets wide open on a busted coverage and walks untouched into the end zone. It's his first touchdown with the Bombers. Four plays, 72 yards, 7-0 Winnipeg with 12:34 to play in the first half.
WIDE OPEN TOMMY NIELD! 🙌
Nield gets his first TD as a Bomber against his former team!

2:48 p.m.
And there's Demski. He goes up the field on a seam route and ends up going for 42 yards up to the Riders 30. 12:50 left in the second quarter.
2:42 p.m.
Welp, that's a weird one. Trevor Harris catches a pass from Trevor Harris for one yard. A pass is blocked and bounces right to the Riders quarterback, and he catches it before being immediately tackled. Riders punt, Winnipeg ball on their own 26 to close out the first quarter.
2:38 p.m.
Holy cow. Winnipeg completely forgets to block Sanders and he gets through to Collaros for a nine-yard loss. Bombers punt, Riders get the ball back on their 36 with 2:18 to play in the first.
2:34 p.m.
Riders go two and out, Winnipeg gets the ball back on their own 44 with 3:51 left in the first quarter.
2:32 p.m.
Oladipo blows past Oliviera on a block and gets to Collaros for a seven-yard sack. Exactly what he used to do back in his day at Boise State! One play later, Collaros sails a pass to the sideline and Winnipeg punts. Saskatchewan ball on their own 31 with 4:52 to play.
2:29 p.m.
Riders give the ball right back. Mimbs catches a deflected pass over the middle and goes for 11 yards but loses the ball on the tackle. Kramdi recovers, Winnipeg ball on their own 40 with 6:57 to play in the first quarter.
Both defences came to PLAY! 🔥
Bombers get a turnover of their own and take it the other way!

Conley runs up the middle for 15 to get up to midfield.

Interception Roughriders! Collaros throws over the middle to Singer, it goes off hands and Miller Jr. hauls it in off the tip drill! It's his first career interception and Riders ball on the 41 with 8:39 to play in the quarter.
It's broken up and PICKED OFF!
Aubrey Miller Jr. comes down with it!

2:22 p.m.
Three straight completions and Winnipeg is over midfield into Saskatchewan territory at the 48. 9:53 remaining in the first quarter.
2:18 p.m.
Riders have a first down called back due to holding and then take another holding penalty on the very next play. It all leads to a punt, Winnipeg starts their first drive on their 33. Not the kind of start the offence was hoping for, to say the least.
2:15 p.m.
Riders get a first down and on the next play air it out down the sidelines for Bridges. It looks like Tejada has pass interference as he doesn't look back at the ball. Mace challenges, but the play stands. Riders lose a timeout and have no more challenges in the game with 12:35 left in the first quarter.
2:11 p.m.
Riders start from their own 26 to start the Labour Day Classic rematch.
2:08 p.m.
Saskatchewan wins the toss, and they're getting the ball first to start the game, plus the wind.
2:02 p.m.
Players are on the field and the anthem and coin toss are coming up. We're about 10 minutes away from kickoff!
1:56 p.m.
Here are Luc's Three Keys to the Game for Saskatchewan:
1 – Same heat, different pressure. Collaros was wary in the second half of the blitz and will be looking for it this time, so change it up but keep coming.
2 – Nick Demski is back, be ready. Know the downs when they’ll be looking to go to Demski on the field and be ready to deal with Winnipeg’s dangerous receiver.
3 – Play a clean game. It’s going to be loud so no offsides or procedures, stay penalty free and don’t shoot ourselves in the foot.
11:02 a.m.
Riders quarterback Trevor Harris said he was looking forward to some cooler weather as the season progressed, and he’ll get his wish today. Temperatures in Winnipeg will be around 14 C at kickoff and it’s going to be breezy in Dawson Hodge’s debut, with winds out of the northwest at 30 km/h gusting to 50 km/h. There’s also a 30 per cent chance of showers throughout the game.
11:01 a.m.
The Rider Broadcast Network pregame show is on the air, with Teagan Witko and Wes Cates joined by a host of special guests in the lead-up to the game. Dave Thomas and Luc Mullinder will then have the game call at kickoff at 2 p.m.
11:00 a.m.
It’s the second biggest game of the regular season, it’s a match-up between the biggest rivals in the CFL’s East Division, it’s the Saskatchewan Roughriders taking on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Labour Day Classic rematch!
The two teams are coming off an absolute barnburner in the Labour Day Classic last weekend at Mosaic Stadium, as the largest crowd in the building’s history saw Saskatchewan take a 32-26 overtime victory.
The game had plenty of drama, first when Zach Collaros engineered the game-tying drive with less than a minute left on the clock and then when Tommy Stevens scored his third touchdown of the game to give Saskatchewan the lead in overtime and for good.
The contest was a coming out party of sorts for Riders receiver Dhel Duncan-Busby, as the reigning CFL Player of the Week had 10 catches for 148 yards, career bests in both categories. Quarterback Trevor Harris shared the award, but we’ve become pretty used to his numbers: 23-of-33 passing for 362 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions.
The biggest change in the lineup for Saskatchewan comes at kicker, where Dawson Hodge will make his debut in place of Alex Hale.
Perhaps the biggest difference heading into the contest comes in the standings. Last week, a Winnipeg win would have moved them into a tie with Saskatchewan for second in the East Division. This time around, the Riders have an 8-4 mark and are looking to chase down 9-3 Edmonton for first place in the East. Winnipeg, on the other hand, is now tied for fourth place at 6-6 and are looking in their rear view mirror at last-place Calgary, who are only one win behind.
One thing that’s for certain is it promises to be another spectacular environment at Princess Auto Stadium and almost certainly another fun and entertaining game!
