With the toss turning up tails, Saskatchewan deferred their choice to the second half. Hamilton chose to receive the ball to open the game and Saskatchewan chose to defend the south end zone, giving Hamilton the notable wind at their backs and the ball to open the game. Hamilton head coach Kent Austin did not use the scramble offence at all in the Grey Cup game. The Tiger-Cats had used the scramble offence with great results in their two East Division playoff games. Sometimes it had been with backup quarterback Dan LeFevour, and occasionally number three quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, rather than starter Henry Burris. Saskatchewan quarterback Darian Durant started the game off poorly, fumbling the ball twice during Saskatchewan's first two offensive drives of the game, with the first being self-recovered and the second being caught by Saskatchewan running back Kory Sheets and carried for a 39-yard gain. Hamilton opened the scoring early in the first with a field goal by Luca Congi, but Saskatchewan quickly responded with a touchdown pass from Durant to Geroy Simon to make it 7–3 for the Roughriders at the end of the first.https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/grey-cup-101-underway-in-regina/article15578648/ Saskatchewan wins 101st Grey Cup, 45-23 over Hamilton The Globe and Mail November 24, 2013 Saskatchewan opened the second quarter with a field goal to make it 10–3, and Saskatchewan running back Jock Sanders scored a touchdown to put the Roughriders up 17–3. Following a turnover by Hamilton quarterback Henry Burris, who missed a snap and allowed the football to shoot past him, Sheets scored his first touchdown for Saskatchewan to extend their lead to 24–3. While Hamilton scored another field goal before the end of the quarter, a 42-yard pass from Durant to Simon at the end of the quarter put the Riders up 31–6 at half-time. The 24-point performance by the Saskatchewan offence ranks as one of the best single-quarter performances in Grey Cup history.https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=437442 ROUGHRIDERS TOP TICATS TO WIN 101ST GREY CUP AT HOME Tsn.ca November 25, 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20131127233439/http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=437442 November 27, 2013 dead mdy-all The third quarter opened with neither team able to sustain a meaningful drive until near the end of the quarter, when Burris ran the ball 18 yards for Hamilton's first touchdown of the game. That turned out to be the only score of the quarter, although Hamilton scored a field goal in the first play of the fourth quarter to make it 31–16 for the Roughriders with fifteen minutes left to play. However, Hamilton was unable to translate its momentum into another touchdown, and with five minutes remaining in the game Kory Sheets scored another touchdown for the Roughriders to extend the Riders' lead to 38–16. Saskatchewan forced a turnover on the following Tiger-Cats' possession which quickly led to a touchdown by Weston Dressler to make the score 45–16. The Tiger-Cats closed the scoring with a touchdown by C.J. Gable, but it proved to be too little as the Roughriders allowed the clock to run down and won the game with a final score of 45–23. http://www.cbc.ca/sports-content/football/cfl/game/1315279/boxscore/ Boxscore November 24, 2013 cbc.ca November 25, 2013 Scoring summary http://cfl.ca/statistics/statsGame/id/10721 Official Site of the Canadian Football League CFL.ca November 25, 2013 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20131127083429/http://cfl.ca/statistics/statsGame/id/10721 November 27, 2013 First Quarter HAM – FG Congi 45 (9:44) 3–0 HAM SSK – TD Simon 15 yd pass from Durant (Milo convert) (6:59) 7–3 SSK Second Quarter SSK – FG Milo 20 (12:46) 10–3 SSK SSK – TD Sanders 3 yd running (Milo convert) (9:00) 17–3 SSK SSK – TD Sheets 1 yd running (Milo convert) (5:31) 24–3 SSK HAM – FG Congi 24 (2:47) 24–6 SSK SSK – TD Simon 42 yd pass from Durant (Milo convert) (1:56) 31–6 SSK Third Quarter HAM – TD Burris 18 yd running (Congi convert) (2:52) 31–13 SSK Fourth Quarter HAM – FG Congi 33 (14:48) 31–16 SSK SSK – TD Sheets 4 yd running (Milo convert) (5:23) 38–16 SSK SSK – TD Dressler 26 yd pass from Durant (Milo convert) (4:09) 45–16 SSK HAM – TD Gable 2 yd running (Congi convert) (1:56) 45–23 SSK Musical acts Like the 100th edition, the 101st Grey Cup featured an all-star lineup of Canadian musical acts.
