Touchdown Atlantic week has finally arrived, and hosts Ben Grant and JB have everything you need going into the game. With the Argos and Roughriders set to battle it out at Huskies Stadium on the Saint Mary’s University campus, JB is on the ground in Halifax, and Ben is in… Ucluelet.
Unlike last year when both Saskatchewan and Toronto ran multiple practices in Nova Scotia, the teams are arriving on Friday, as they would for a normal road game. Is this a good idea? Will Toronto be forced to make defensive adjustments with the Riders expecting reinforcements at receiver? It’s still very early, but is Flo Orimolade getting overlooked as a candidate for Toronto’s most outstanding defensive player nominee? Can the Argos match their franchise record 6-0 start with a win in Halifax? Ben and JB have you covered.
