SASKATOON – The second-to-last week of the season was a big one for both Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) teams taking to the field at Saskatoon’s Griffiths Stadium Saturday.

A win for the University of Saskatchewan Huskies football team would lock up a playoff spot and potentially secure home field advantage for the first round of the post season.

A loss against the University of Alberta Golden Bears could sink the dogs to fourth place in the Canada West.
