U Sask. Huskies football team begins quest to return to top of Canada West in 2024 – Saskatoon [Video]

The tempo at Griffiths Stadium has been fast paced for the University of Saskatchewan Huskies as the team puts the final touches on its strategy ahead of the 2024 Canada West football season.

The team plays its first game in Winnipeg on Aug. 31, taking the field against the University of Manitoba Bisons.

“We’ve been dialled during training camp,” quarterback Anton Amundrud said ahead of the game. “The offence has been looking good, defence has been looking good. We’ve been competing well and we’re feeling great coming into Week 1 here.”

After back-to-back trips to the Vanier Cup in 2021 and 2022, the Huskies struggled with consistency in 2023 after starting the season with a 4-1 record.

The ‘Dogs’ would eventually finish the regular season with a 5-3 record and would be bounced in the first round of Canada West playoffs by Alberta, marking Saskatchewan’s first Hardy Cup playoff loss since 2019.
