Toronto came out of the gate very strong controlling the ball for the first ten minutes of the game. RB Robert Drummond was the first to take the ball into the ’Rider end zone for the Argonauts. His 2 yard touchdown run followed an impressive drive that started on the Toronto 4-yard line. Mike Vanderjagt kicked the convert. The Argos scored again three minutes later when Vanderjagt sent a 17 yard field goal attempt through the uprights. Saskatchewan QB Warren Jones got things going on the ’Riders next possession. Jones directed the team up field from their 34-yard line finishing the drive with an 8 yard touchdown pass to Curtis Mayfield. Brent Matich kicked the convert.
