REGINA -- A tough wind was no match for the Calgary Stampeders. Jon Cornish rushed 24 times for 159 yards and Kevin Glenn completed 15-of-24 passes for 171 yards and two touchdowns Saturday as the Stampeders defeated the Saskatchewan Roughriders 17-10 in a game played in winds gusting up to 85 km/h. "When we walked in here, we saw how bad the wind was," said Calgary head coach John Hufnagel. "Fortunately, we were able to run the football and stay with the things we wanted to do." Glenns arm, Cornishs legs and a defence that bent but didnt break was the difference as the Stampeders improved to 4-4. Saskatchewan, meanwhile, dropped its fifth straight to fall to 3-5 on the season and into last in the CFLs West Division. With the wind at their backs, the Stampeders opened the scoring on their first possession of the game on a 34-yard pass from Glenn to wide receiver Joe West, who is new to the Calgary starting lineup and drew praise from Hufnagel for his five receptions and 52 yards. "He executed his assignments well," Hufnagel said. "Thats exactly what we got him for." The Stampeders looked even more impressive on their second offensive sequence, marching the ball 101 yards. Glenn completed the drive with a 14-yard touchdown toss to wide receiver Romby Bryant to give Calgary a 14-0 lead. In the second quarter, with the wind in their faces, the Stampeders shifted to a ball-control strategy, using Cornish to establish a possession game that limited Saskatchewans scoring opportunities and allowed Calgary to take its 14-0 lead into the dressing room at halftime. The trend continued following intermission as Rene Paredes made good on a field from 34 yards out as Calgarys advantage grew to 17-0. Saskatchewans best scoring opportunity in the third quarter was foiled when the Roughriders turned the ball over on a fumble by quarterback Darian Durant at the Stampeders 34-yard line. Saskatchewan rallied in the fourth with a 37-yard field goal by Sandro DeAngelis midway through the quarter and a three-yard touchdown run by tailback Kory Sheets, but the comeback attempt fell short. "Were not putting points on the board," said Durant, who completed 17-of-29 passes for 179 yards. "It is what it is, the nature of playing here. No matter what its like out there, if they score, we have to score, too. Obviously, I have to be better." Durant believes the answer to what ails Saskatchewan, which has gone into a tailspin following a promising 3-0 start to the season, is simply to "keep going, keep plugging, keep fighting -- were not out of it." Roughriders head coach Corey Chamblin said the solution is two-fold: physical and mental. What he wants to see from his players is execution and intensity. "Theyve got to get going. They have to get going," he said. "We have to make sure each and every guy is ready to go. Im looking for mentally tough guys." "No matter how bad it is, you can win," he added. "Thats what we have to get across to these guys. I wouldnt say (its) a lack of intensity, but there has to be more intensity." Chamblin didnt take any solace in the Roughriders late charge that came up short. "Im not interested in being close. Im interested in winning games," he said. "They have to understand what it takes to win and what you have to do to win. Its going to be a tough ride, but the thing of it is, I havent given up on my players." Notes: Attendance was 33,427. ... Both teams can now look forward to the renewal of traditional rivalries on the Labour Day weekend.

Titans coach Mike Munchak said Friday that Locker looks good and is ready to go unless something comes up between now and kickoff. "He moved around well, his reactions were good, just things you look for to see if someone is limited in any way where we felt that he wouldnt be able to play at the level he needs to physically," Munchak said. "We didnt see any of that. ... So all the things you want to see, I think the best you can in practice, we saw it. There is no reason to think he cant play at a high level on Sunday." Locker separated his left, non-throwing shoulder foor the second time in four games Sept.dddddddddddd 30 against Houston. The second-year player was cleared for contact earlier in the week and practiced the past three days with the first-team offence. The Titans (3-6) listed Locker as probable on the injury report, along with receivers Kenny Britt (knee), Kendall Wright (elbow) and Nate Washington, a late addition after an illness limited his practice time Friday. Linebackers Patrick Bailey (ribs) and Colin McCarthy (right ankle), receiver Kendall Wright (elbow), cornerback Tommie Campbell (left ankle) and offensive tackle Byron Stingily (back) are all questionable. Linebacker Xavier Adibi (knee) and safety Al Afalava (ankle) are out. ' ' '
