Congi, defense lead Roughriders to season-opening win

Jan 9, 2008 - 4:53 PM MONTREAL (Ticker) -- Luca Congi provided the offense and the defense did the rest, making Kent Austin's coaching debut with the Saskatchewan Roughriders a successful one.

Congi kicked three field goals and the defense allowed only a single touchdown as the Roughriders posted a 16-7 victory over the Montreal Alouettes in the season opener for both teams Friday.

With Saskatchewan (1-0) trailing, 2-0, after one quarter, Congi converted kicks of 45 and 37 yards in the second and another 45-yarder in the third to give the Roughriders a 9-2 advantage. Kerry Joseph increased the lead at 9:06 of the quarter, tossing a 34-yard pass to Henri Childs for the only touchdown of the game.

Joseph went 16-of-30 for 230 yards, while Childs gained 34 yards on the ground and 64 receiving.

Ben Cahoon made 11 catches for 96 yards for Montreal (0-1), which registered three safeties in losing its first opener since 1996.
