A magical season for long suffering Roughrider fans the 1989 playoff run saw Saskatchewan led by Austin at quarterback win on the road first upsetting Calgary 33-26 and then the heavily favored Edmonton Eskimos 32-21 at Commonwealth Stadium. Austin had clearly taken control of the team. In considered by many the greatest CFL game ever played Suitor was the holder for the historic Dave Ridgway kick that sealed the victory for Saskatchewan bringing the 2nd Grey Cup championship in franchise history..
