GUELPH, Ont. — Dominique Davis threw a TD pass and ran for another to lead the Ottawa Redblacks to a 32-17 win over the Toronto Argonauts on Thursday night at Alumni Stadium in the final CFL exhibition game for both clubs.

Davis, vying for Ottawa's backup job behind veteran starter Trevor Harris, finished 18-of-23 passing for 167 yards in staking the Redlblacks to a 22-10 half-time lead. He made it a 12-point game with a 19-yard TD strike to Seth Coate with 19 seconds remaining in the second quarter before 3,921 spectators.

Harris didn't play after suffering a lower-body injury in last week's 27-7 exhibition win over Montreal. Davis was 8-of-13 passing for 80 yards and a touchdown versus the Alouettes.

David spent three seasons with Winnipeg but only started once in 47 appearances before being released.

Danny Collins took over in the second half and was 8-of-12 passing for 100 yards for Ottawa while Aarion Penton had a 54-yard interception return TD in the third.

Collins was 12-of-21 passing for 187 yards with one touchdown and one interception versus Montreal.

Toronto played its home exhibition game at the Guelph Gryphons' home venue because BMO Field was unavailable due to mandatory maintenance on the playing surface.

Cedric O'Neal had Ottawa's other touchdown. Sergio Castillo added a field goal and convert while Rich Leone had a field goal and Ward Lewis had a convert.

Jonathan Epps and former Gryphon Alex Charette scored Toronto's touchdowns. Ronnie Pfeffer booted a field goal, single and convert.

James Franklin, who's battling McLeod Bethel-Thompson for the backup job behind veteran Ricky Ray, played the opening half. He completed 9-of-14 passes for 72 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for three yards.

Bethel-Thompson started Toronto's 36-18 win last week in Hamilton, finishing 9-of-11 passing for 122 yards and two TDs while running for another. Franklin completed 8-of-10 passes for 73 yards with an interception while running twice for four yards in the second half.

Bethel-Thompson replaced Franklin in the second half and was 5-of-9 passing for 90 yards and a TD but also threw two interceptions before giving way to Dakota Prukop in the fourth. Bethel-Thompson's biggest play was a 63-yard touchdown pass to Charette.

Now Toronto and Ottawa have some tough decisions to make as CFL teams must make their final cuts by 10 a.m. ET on Sunday. The regular season kicks off Thursday night with the Edmonton Eskimos visiting the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Toronto opens its season Friday night in Regina against the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Ottawa has a first-week bye before entertaining the Riders on June 21.
