• Kevin Glenn has thrown four touchdown passes in two of the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ last four games. Such a feat had not been accomplished by a member of the local CFL team since 1991, when Kent Austin went on a run that is unlikely to be rivalled, let alone duplicated. In a scintillating stretch of six games, Austin threw or exceeded four touchdown passes four times. Game #7: Five touchdown passes. Game #9: Four. Game #10: Four more. Game #12: A franchise-record six.

• In 1979 — the year Glenn was born — the Roughriders’ Danny Sanders threw four touchdown passes. That was Sanders’ team-leading season total. (All four TD passes were to the same player — the oft-mentioned Joey Walters.)

• Here are some numerical nuggets from Steve Daniel, the CFL’s statistician extraordinaire: Since 1950, a Saskatchewan quarterback has thrown at least four TD passés in 37 games. Glenn, with 11 aerial TDs in five contests this season, has a chance to register one of the better six-game runs in franchise history. The best: Austin’s 23 touchdown passes from Games 7 to 12 in 1991. Tom Burgess (1989) had 19 TD passes in six games and Glenn Dobbs (1951) had 17. Burgess had three games of four or more TD passes during his hot start in 1989. Darian Durant had six-game stretches with 17 and 16 scoring strikes in 2013. Henry Burris fired 14 TDs over the first six games in 2000.
