The Saskatchewan Roughriders have James Franklin’s full attention, but Oct. 9 looms in the back of his mind. The Toronto quarterback makes his first start, since July 1, on Saturday when the Argonauts (2-10) host the Riders (8-4). Ironically, Franklin’s last start was against Saskatchewan when he suffered a hamstring injury in a 32-7 road loss, sending him on the six-game injured list. Franklin replaced Bethel-Thompson in the second half of last week’s 23-16 home loss to Calgary, completing 12 of 16 passes for 147 yards and a touchdown to earn the start against Saskatchewan. “We want to be able to control our own destiny,” Fajardo, a former Argo, said.
