Saskatchewan Roughriders’ quarterback Trevor Harris was named the Canadian Football League’s (CFL) Player of the Month for September on Wednesday.
From Week 13 through Week 17 of the CFL season Harris went 94 for 139 (69.1 per cent) on passes for 1,218 total yards and eight touchdowns in four games.
In Week 13, the Labour Day Classic game, Harris tallied up 368 passing yards, a season high 27 rushing yards and three touchdowns in a 35-33 loss to Winnipeg.
Harris also threw for 268 yards on Sept. 20 in a 37-29 Riders win in Calgary and 315 yards this past Saturday when the Riders topped Ottawa 29-16 for their second straight victory.
