Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - October 12, 1997, Winnipeg, Manitoba A10 sunday free press Winnipeg october 12, 1997 by Dan Ralph Canadian press Toronto a after playing second fiddle to Doug Flutie and the heralded offence for much of the season the Toronto argonauts defence took Centre stage yesterday afternoon. The leagues top ranked defence held Cal Rushing Leader Mike Pringle and the Montreal Alou ettes in Check Long enough for Flutie and co. To generate enough offence for a 28-21 win that clinched Toronto top spot in the a Fly a East division. Defence steals show from Flutie Clemons Argos hold Alou ettes in Check Long enough second half despite damaging cartilage on the Side of his ribcage in the second Quarter. Flutie finished 23 of 38 passing for 271 Yards and two touchdowns giving him 40 this season to break Tobin Rote steam record of 38 set in 1960. But it was hardly a Vintage performance As Tracey gravely scored one Montreal touchdown returning an errant Clemons lateral to Flutie 20 Yards. The Toronto offence lost two fumbles and also surrendered an interception. A Montreal played Well but did some things i feel we can definitely take advantage of if they want to keep doing them a Flutie said. A we got ourselves into a situation where we were. Streaky because of what they were doing. A your defence has played like this All year. I have All the Confidence in the world in Clemons finished with 217 total Yards boosting his season total to 3,399 and breaking his league record 3,300 set in 1990 when he was the named the a Fly a outstanding player. Toronto won its ninth straight game ties club record and 16th consecutive at Home club record. And the regular season Victory was the 147th of Argos coach Don Matthews career tying Frank Claire a league Mark. But Matthews Wasny to in the mood to celebrate. A the win is Gratifying but certainly the artistic Beauty was lacking a he said. A your defence came up big like it has All year and was really up to the task when pushed in our own territory due to offensive Toronto earns a Bye to the Eastern final held nov. 9 at sky dome. Argos 28 Alou ettes 21 despite record setting performances by Flutie and Mike pinball Clemons the a Fly a most potent offence appeared out of sync throughout the contest. Fortunately Toronto could rely on a defence that tops 24 of the leagues 25 defensive categories. Toronto forced Montreal to turn the Ball Over on Downs twice had an interception and sacked Alou ettes quarterback Tracy Ham four times. A we just had to keep playing hard and just believing the offence was going to give us the Points to win a a said Argo defensive tackle Rob Waldrop. A and they Pringle rushed for 108 Yards a club record ninth time this season he has surpassed the 100-Yard plateau. But Montreal a offence managed just 284 total Yards most coming on a drive that culminated with Hamas 26-Yard touchdown pass to Chris Armstrong with five seconds remaining. Toronto punished Pringle As the Cal Rushing Leader 1,670 Yards played the defence lifts the a riders to Victory Canadian press Vancouver a in the end it was determined defence that gave the Saskatchewan roughriders the Opportunity to win in the last Quarter. An interception by Erie Sutton set the stage for the go ahead touchdown and another Pickoff by Ryan Carey ended the last .
