‘What’s next?’ Riders’ Armstead focused on showdown with Ottawa
Ryquell Armstead has been busy in his short time as a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
The 27-year-old running back arrived in Regina just days before Friday’s game against the Calgary Stampeders.
After spending some extra time after meetings and practice getting accustomed to the Riders’ schemes, Armstead ending up starting the game and was kept busy. He had 25 carries for 207 yards as the Riders defeated the Stamps 37-29 for Saskatchewan’s first win since July 19.
“It felt amazing. I felt good, and it was just what the team needed for us to win,” Armstead said. “Ultimately, if they needed me to get 25, 30, I’m going to take them. If they give me 10, I’m going to do that.”
