CFL - Argos 29, Renegades 18
Lets just call it a moral victory and stop there.
Ok maybe just bit about the game. It started out as hopeful as any Renegade game, the score was tied at 3 after the fist quarter, then as usual it fell apart in the last few minutes of the second quarter and couldn't quite make it back in the second half. Notice how all that seems so familiar and with out the words Argos that sentence would describe almost all the Renegades games this year.
The two teams traded field goals in the first quarter as Ottawa did a good job of keeping the Argo offence off the field and at one point Ottawa was actually ahead in the second quarter as Yo Murphy scored a TD after an amazing twist filled run to the endzone. After that however it was the usual slide down the hill. Toronto scored 2 touchdown in the final 3:30 of the first half and never looked back after that.
Ottawa's punter Pat Fleming gave up a safety in the third quarter and then in the 4th Toronto added a 34 field goal to make it 22-11. Ottawa did score a nice 75 yard touchdown pass from Kerry Joseph to Jason Amrstead to make it 22-18 but with 5:34 to go Toronto scored a TD to put the game, and the Renegades playoff hopes out of reach.
Kerry Joseph played reasonably well, he was 18 for 27 with 2 TDs and 220 yards passing, but once again he threw 2 interceptions. On the ground the Renegades started strong in the first quarter but gave up on the ground game after that. Ranek carried the ball 9 times for 40 yards, most of it in the first quarter and Kerry Joseph carried the ball 10 times for 43 yards. Ranek and Joseph accounted for all of Ottawa's yards on the ground and you aren't going to win many games with less that 100 yards on the ground.
Armstead lead the way for the Renegades in the receiving department, he caught 9 passes for 143 yards.
Ottawa's next game is October 7th against the Hamilton Tiger-cats as the two teams open a home and home series. I wouldn't get to excited and start thinking about any 2 game winning streaks any time soon Ottawa.
