Description
The 75th Grey Cup in 1987 played in Vancouver BC was a classic championship game between the Edmonton Eskimos and the Toronto Argonauts, won 38-36 by the Edmonton Eskimos.
It was truly what makes football games my favourite game. Edmonton going out to an early lead with a Gizmo Williams 112 yard return from a wide field goal. With the Eskimos leading 10-3 in the second quarter Argo running back Gil Fenerty took a pass from QB Gilbert Renfro and scored on a 61 yard touchdown.
Turn overs hurt Edmonton big resulting in 2 touchdowns by Toronton to take the lead 24-10 in the second quarter.
While still in the second quarter Eskimos QB Matt Dunigan suffered a head injury and QB Damon Allen came off the bench to play the rest of the game. Eskimos Stanley Blair blocks a Argonaut punt and following on the next drive for Edmonton Allen throws a TD to Marco Cyncar to cut the lead to 24-17 at halftime.
Edmonto manages to outscore Toronto 4-3 in the third quarter but still was behind 27-21.
On to the fourth quarter when Eskimos QB Damon Allen hits Brian Kelly for a 15 yard touchdown to take the lead 28-27.
Argonaut place kicker Lance Chomyc kicks a field goal to put Toronto ahead 30-28. Edmonton QB Damon Allen provided Toronto fits with his mobilty and able to take off and run. This results in a 17 yard bootleg run that puts Edmonton ahead 35-30.
Toronto starting QB Gilbert Renfroe was also hurt in this game and back up QB Danny Barrett had to come off the bench to play. With 2:43 left in the game Barret busted up the middle for a 25 yard touchdown and gave the Argos a 36-35 lead. Toronton tried and failed on a two point conversion. This allowed the Eskimos to win the game on Jerry Kauric's last second field goal, 38-36.
