CFL.ca brings you three key stats from the Toronto Argonauts\u2019 win over the BC Lions.<\/p>\n
RELATED 430 \u2013 NICK ARBUCKLE PASSING YARDS<\/p>\n The air show at the Canadian National Exhibition doesn\u2019t begin until next weekend but Arbuckle\u00a0certainly didn\u2019t get the memo.<\/p>\n The Toronto quarterback fired off big play after big play en route to a 430-yard performance at BMO Field. Arbuckle had four passes for over 30 yards and two of those went into the hands of Jake Herslow<\/a> for touchdowns.<\/p>\n 25 \u2013 SECOND QUARTER POINTS<\/p>\n The Lions got off to a quick start on Saturday, scoring the game\u2019s first two touchdowns as they went into the second quarter up 14-3. After the opening 15 minutes it looked like the Lions might run away from their opponent, but the Argos had other plans.<\/p>\n A 25-point second quarter from the Argonauts set the tone for the rest of the game as the home team stormed back to go into halftime up by seven. An early Lirim Hajrullahu<\/a> field goal got things started and then Arbuckle ran in for a touchdown and threw another to Kevin Mital. The other Argos score came from corner back Benjie Franklin<\/a>, who intercepted Rourke\u00a0for a pick six.<\/p>\n 33:18 \u2013 TORONTO TIME OF POSSESSION<\/p>\n The Argonauts had touchdown drives that were just one play, and four plays long, but they were also able to hold onto the football for lengthy possessions, keeping the football out of the hands of Rourke.<\/p>\n Toronto held the football for 33:18 compared to BC\u2019s 26:42 mark. As the Argos built their lead they were also able to keep BC at bay by winning the possession battle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TORONTO \u2013 With the excitement of the CNE surrounding BMO Field, it was only fitting that Nick Arbuckle…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":93827,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-93826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93826","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=93826"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93826\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/93827"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=93826"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=93826"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=93826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
