SASKATOON – The University of Saskatchewan Huskies football team will travel south to take on their provincial rival Regina Rams in their final regular season game of the year.
 
The Huskies clinched a postseason appearance with a 27-4 victory over the Manitoba Bisons on Oct. 20 and will need a victory and a UBC loss in order to host a home playoff game at Griffiths Stadium. Meanwhile, the Rams were on the wrong end of a 58-6 loss at the hands of No. 3 ranked Calgary Dinos, which when paired with the forfeit of the team's first five games, eliminated the Rams from playoff contention.
 
The two teams met during week four of the regular season, with the Huskies defending home field and picking up a 33-20 victory over their counterparts. Saskatchewan's defence was the story of the game, as they racked up four sacks and intercepted Noah Picton on three occasions, with Jacob Solie recording a 64-yard pick six. The Rams hope home field is the difference on this occasion as they look to play spoiler against their bitter rival.
