Roughriders top Elks to book West semifinal showdown with Lions

REGINA — Tommy Stevens admits landing in the CFL record book is a bit surreal for him. Stevens, the short-yardage specialist for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, scored two rushing touchdowns in Saturday’s 16-9 victory over the Edmonton Elks to break the league's single-season mark for rushing majors. In his second season with the Riders, the 6-foot-4, 245-pound Stevens tied the league record on a one-yard plunge in the second quarter and then grabbed the record for himself with another one-yard run in the fourth quarter. After the game, Stevens was still trying to come to terms with topping the previous mark that was held by Saskatchewan legend George Reed and former Ottawa Redblacks quarterback Caleb Evans. “It hasn't really set in yet, but I'm not going to sit here and act like I didn't want it. I knew what was at stake. I knew that it was a possibility.
