REGINA – A win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders is always going to feel good for the Calgary Stampeders.

But a 37-10 win when you’re listed as the sizeable underdog and are missing your starting quarterback, starting running back and are fielding a group on defence with a tonne of new names?

Yeah, the Stampeders (2-1) were feeling themselves on Saturday night.

Here’s a bunch of observations from Saturday’s big win:

1. TRE, TRE, TRE

It’s best to just get this out of the way, but Tre Roberson is no longer emerging as a star in the CFL. He is a star.

His two interceptions on Saturday brought his season total to five, through only three games.

That’s as many interceptions as Anthony Orange had at the end of last year when he led the league.

Technically, Roberson is on pace to shatter the CFL record for interceptions in a season — Al Brenner holds that record with 15 in 1972 — and would finish the year with 30 if he keeps it up.
