5 for 6 for 99 yards and a TD but his Saskatchewan Roughriders fell to Edmonton 31-24 in their first preseason game of the year. See link. http://cfl.ca/statistics/statsGame/id/12839" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Also, 3 rushes for 8 yards.

Awesome. I hope he sticks.

5 of 6 for 99 yards and a TD? Good job Brett! Hope you are able to stay on!

Per twitter, he seemed to have impressed folks. He was better than expected.

Good for Brett. Hopefully he gets some more playing time. That touchdown pass was classic Brett Smith, scramble, improvise, and put one right on the money. Might have to tune in to a few Saskatchewan games if they're on ESPN this summer.

Agreed. It would be fun seeing him play again.

I hope someone can get all his CFL plays and throw them together on youtube.

Good for him! I hope he excels up there. If he can get a little more velocity on the ball, he might find his way south.

Thought the same thing. Thought I was watching a UW highlight for a second, was confused by the uniform.

Here's a cool little segment they did on him. Thought maybe some people might want to see it.

Looks like he has really grown up in the last year and a half. Not that he wasn't mature at Wyoming but in that interview I saw another level. Good luck to him.

Seeing him escape the defender and then find the open receiver downfield was great to see again. And his interview was awesome. Good luck in the CFL Brett!

Smith will always be one of my favorite Cowboys. Looking back, we all think (including him) that he probably should've stayed for Sr season. But, what's done is done and I hope he excels whatever he does. He was a great kid who worked his butt off for UW.

He stays his Senior year and the Pokes win 2-3 more games without a doubt. Happy to see him get some playing time. I hope it pans out. CFL is better than AFL for a career.

Get em Brett, tear up the CFL

Brett Smith ran for a 1-yard TD as his Saskatchewan Roughriders fell to the Calgary Stampeders 37-29 in preseason action. Link. http://cfl.ca/statistics/statsGame/id/12847" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

He's playing hard, but his team just isn't winning (now where have we seen that before?). Regardless, here's to Brett continuing his success and that he gets more chances to show off what he can do!

I saw Kongo was playing for the same team. Hope they both succeed.

Those are just pre season games. Teams are just trying a bunch of different players out like in the nfl pre season. Games don't mean anything so the fact they are losing is no big deal right now.

Be interesting to see how much playing time Brett will get during the regular season and how he does. Hope he can win the starting job at some point.

Glenn and Durant have both been playing in the CFL for while and both have been successful at different points so it won't be easy for Brett but he has a lot more years ahead of him than Glenn or Durant and QB's seem to get hurt a lot in the CFL so maybe he will get a shot at some point this year to start.

Kongo had a tackle on special teams in that game, too.
