The last U Sports football conference to start their 2019 regular-season does so Friday night on two fronts, including the Saskatchewan Huskies visiting the Manitoba Bisons.

After waiting in the wings for three years, it’s Mason Nyhus’ turn to lead the U of S Huskies’ offence. The Regina product will be the starting quarterback for the defending Hardy Cup-champion Dogs.

The broadcast of the Canada West Conference match-up between the Dogs and the Herd on CJWW, from Winnipeg, starts at 5 with play-by-play at 6.
