As Elks quarterback Tre Ford was about to begin his post-game media availability, Toronto Argonauts general manager Mike “Pinball” Clemons” poked his head into the Edmonton players’ lounge.
He pointed at Ford and called out, “I love you, man.”
Even Ford’s opponents admired how the Canadian quarterback rallied Edmonton to a 31-30 overtime win over the Argos Friday at Commonwealth Stadium. It was a game that meant nothing in the CFL standings, but, for Ford, the game offered him a chance to showcase himself to the league. The former first-round draft pick is not under contract for next season.
Ford passed for 325 yards and three touchdowns, and added 81 yards rushing in only three quarters of work. Jarret Doege played the second quarter in a planned rotation.
“The fourth quarter was phenomenal,” said Ford. “We were able to go down and get (three) crucial touchdowns that were huge. It gave us the opportunity to win the game.”
Jake Julien’s 54-yard punt sailed over the end zone for a rare game-winning rouge.
“I thought maybe we had a shot at catching it and kicking it back out,” said Argos’ coach Ryan Dinwiddie. “We had a plan for it, but, yeah, he hit it long.”
“I looked at Jake and said, ‘Can you kick it out of the back of the endzone?’” said Elks head coach Jarious Jackson. And the response? “Gotcha.”
