{allcanada} Riders rough up Glenn, Ticats

REGINA -- Craig Butler and Nick Graham each intercepted Hamilton's Kevin Glenn in the end zone, and Chris Milo was good on all three field goal attempts Saturday as the Saskatchewan Roughriders beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 19-3.

Milo's field goals were good from 11, 40, and 12 yards before fullback Neal Hughes scored on a three-yard run, and the Roughriders (5-12)made it to halftime with a 17-0 lead.

Hamilton kicker Justin Medlock replied with a 47-yard field goal to open the third quarter, accounting for the Tiger-Cats (8-9) only score of the game.

Milo added two fourth-quarter singles to cap the scoring.

Butler added a second interception on Hamilton's final drive and halfback Tyron Brackenridge, making his first CFL start, picked Glenn in the third quarter -- the first of Glenn's four second-half interceptions.

The game had no playoff implications for either team with the Roughriders already out of contention and Hamilton locked into a third-place finish in the East Division.

Saskatchewan kicker Chris Milo entered the game having scored 32 of the Riders' 40 points over the previous five games. Saturday he had the game's first 10 points on three field goals and a 108-yard punt single that tied the CFL record set by Zenon Andrusyshyn of the Toronto Argonauts in 1977.

Saskatchewan's Dallas Baker led all receivers with 86 yards, including a 72-yard catch-and-run in the first quarter that set up Milo's first field goal.

Ryan Dinwiddie started at quarterback in place of the injured Darian Durant and finished 7-for-20 with 139 yards but no touchdown throws. The lack of TDs extended Saskatchewan's streak without one to over 360 minutes.

Cole Bergquist backed up Dinwiddie and threw his first CFL passes, finishing 0-for-2.

The Tiger-Cats also split quarterbacking duties, using both Kevin Glenn and starter Quinton Porter. Porter finished 6-of-13 for 53 yards while Glenn went 14-for-22 with 171 yards.
