EDMONTON ESKIMOS 38, TORONTO
ARGONAUTS 36 - The lead changed hands five times
before Jerry Kauric booted a 49-yard FG to secure the win. The fireworks
went off early when Edmonton's Henry ‘Gizmo’ Williams fielded a missed
FG and ran for a 115-yard return for a TD, setting a new Grey Cup
record. This game eventually became the battle of the backups when
starters, Matt Dunigan and Gilbert Renfroe became injured leaving
backups Damon Allen and Danny Barrett to take over.
