Doege replaces Tino Sunseri as the Riders’ starter.
Sunseri had made three straight starts for Saskatchewan (9-4) after incumbent Darian Durant suffered an elbow injury that’s expected to sideline him the remainder of the regular season.
The Riders were 1-2 with Sunseri as the starter and are coming off a 24-0 loss to the Edmonton Eskimos, Saskatchewan’s first shutout defeat since 1986.
