Week 4 | Fans Riding High After 4-0 Start
Riders stay undefeated, and fans remain fired up.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders extended their perfect start to the 2025 season with a 37–18 victory over the B.C. Lions at Mosaic Stadium. Backup QB Jake Maier stepped up in place of injured veteran Trevor Harris, and running back A.J. Ouellette had a breakout performance—powering the Riders to 4–0 heading into their first bye week.
Let’s break down how fans are feeling after another statement win.
🔥 Rider Performance in One Word:
“Exciting” was the most common word fans used to describe the game—closely followed by “lucky,” “thrilling,” and “penalties.” The performance sparked a mix of adrenaline and anxiety, with fans riding the highs of explosive plays while still cautious about recurring discipline issues (10 penalties for 136 yards).
📊 Fan Outlook Score: 8.36 / 10
Fan confidence continues to climb, with 95% of respondents rating the team a 7 or higher. The undefeated record helps, but so does the balanced showing from both offence and defence. That said, fans are dialled in: they’re happy, but not naïve.
🧠 Performance Rating
97% of fans reported feeling “Very Happy” or “Somewhat Happy” with the Riders’ Week 4 performance. It was a night of firsts and follow-throughs, Campbell’s pick-six, Maier’s command of the offence, and Ouellette’s 100+ yard game. Discipline is still the biggest concern, but momentum is firmly on Saskatchewan’s side.
📅 Next Game Prediction: Week 6 vs. Calgary
94% of fans believe the Riders will take the win over the Calgary Stampeders on July 11. Confidence is sky-high—and Calgary’s recent form isn’t helping their odds in the public eye. Riders enter the matchup rested, healthy (pending injury reports), and undefeated.
“We’re happy because we found a way to win this week. But we know 4–0 doesn’t equal what we want to accomplish.”
— Head Coach Corey Mace
“My running style matches the way this team is built… We’ve got to start playing smart.”
— A.J. Ouellette, CFL rushing leader
“No major mistakes, led the team, great leader out there.”
— Ouellette on Jake Maier’s start
🧠 Final Take:
The Riders head into the bye week 4–0 and ranked among the CFL’s elite. The team has shown resilience and adaptability in the face of injuries—and fans are taking notice. But the high penalty count looms large. If Saskatchewan wants to turn this hot start into a championship run, discipline has to tighten up fast.
