REGINA - Trevor Harris threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Tori Gurley and then hooked up with running back Anthony Coombs on a three-yard strike for the two-point conversion as the Toronto Argonauts pulled off a 42-40 double-overtime upset against the Saskatchewan Roughriders in front of a shocked crowd of 31,907 fans at Mosaic Stadium.
Toronto (2-0) fielded the ball first in the double-overtime session.
Saskatchewan (0-2) had a chance to tie the game after QB Kevin Glenn connected with Chris Getzlaf for a 25-yard touchdown on the next drive, but Glenn just missed Getzlaf on the ensuing two-point convert.
Harris went 30 for 38 with 267 yards and four touchdowns and one interception in the game, while Owens led Toronto receivers with eight catches for 88 yards and one touchdown.
Glenn was equally effective for the Riders, going 33 for 40 for 477 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.
Ryan Smith for the Riders led all receivers with eight catches for 174 yards and one touchdown.
In a crazy overtime session filled with penalties and a few reviewed plays, Saskatchewan opened up the scoring on its first possession when Rob Bagg took the ball one yard into the end zone on an end around. Running back Jerome Messam was tackled in the backfield on the ensuing two-point conversion.
The Argos stormed back with a nine-yard receiving touchdown by running back Brandon Whitaker in their first overtime. They, too, failed their two-point conversion attempt when Harris was sacked by Rider defensive back Macho Harris.
Saskatchewan led the game 28-21 with just over a minute left in the game. Scrimmaging from the Toronto 25, Harris led the Argonauts on a last-minute touchdown drive, capped off with a 16-yard touchdown pass to Chad Owens, to send the game into overtime.
