It's another week and another starting quarterback for the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Riders head coach Corey Chamblin announced this afternoon quarterback Seth Doege will make his first career start on Friday against the Calgary Stampeders.

"Where we are in a situation in the season right now, I'd like to see Seth and see what he brings to the table," Chamblin said. "As we go forward, pretty soon we have to make a decision on, 'OK, this is exactly who our starting quarterback is going to be if we don't get Darian Durant back.'"

Quarterback Tino Sunseri started the previous three games for the Roughriders. However, the second-year pivot was replaced by Doege in the second half against Edmonton last Friday.

When asked why Doege is getting the start over Sunseri, Chamblin said they both have different skill sets.

"I'm one of those coaches that it doesn't matter what a lot of people say should be done," Chamblin said. "That's where my gut is right now and I'm going to go with that.

"I think (Doege) has good command of the huddle this week so I want to see him go forward," he said.

Doege spent his college years playing at Texas Tech University. In four seasons with Red Raiders, Deoge finished third in career passing yards, touchdowns and completions. Doege holds the Texas Tech career completion percentage.

In his final season, Doege finished third in the NCAA with 4,215 passing yards. He also put up 39 touchdowns, which was just three touchdowns fewer than current New York Jets' quarterback Geno Smith.

The Riders (9-4) have lost two of their past three games. They'll kick off against the CFL-leading Calgary Stampeders (11-2) on Friday at 8 p.m. CST at Mosaic Stadium.
