Shea Patterson will be starting at quarterback for the Green and White, after Trevor Harris was placed on the six-game injured list due to a knee injury he suffered in the team’s 36-20 win over Hamilton on June 23.
The 27-year-old Patterson said he’s ready to step up.
“I feel like I have prepared myself, and the coaches have prepared me, and everyone in the room is ready to play,” Patterson said.
“I think the nerves might be excitement. I’m ready to get out there and play with my brothers.”
Corey Mace, the Riders’ new head coach, said he’s confident that he’s built a good foundation with the team so far this season, and said the team is well prepared for Thursday’s contest.
