Pic six for the Argos. In big games, Kevin Glenn is Kevin Glenn, and that hurts the Riders.

The Argos are blitzing Glenn on almost every play, and he is gun shy. He’ll have to try to hit Carter or Roosevelt over the top to beat the pressure.

Instead of changing the way Glenn is playing, the Riders change quarterbacks and bring in Brandon Bridge.

This is a defensive battle. Both defences are keying on the opposing running backs and neither team is thhrowing the ball downfield. All 10 points so far have come off turnovers.

Kevin Glenn comes back, the teams trade interceptions and then all h*** breaks out afterwards.

For the second time in the first half, the Argos capitalized on a Kevin Glenn interception as Ray hits Posey over top from the 20 yard line after a penalty-filled drive. 14-3 Argos, and Glenn throws another interception on the first play after the TD.

No TD this time but an Argo field goal makes it 17-3. All points have come off turnovers.

I was shocked how poor the Riders mixed up the play calls with KG under pressure. TOR play calls have been far better than Riders until this series with Carter getting a pass and Lafrance play.

Finally Bridge is making a play.

Also in the first half the Riders did zip to adjust to the rush which rendered KG useless.

The Argos offence is being conservative in the second half, focusing on not turning the ball over.

Brandon Bridge and Duron Carter have come to life to bring the Riders back in the game, 18-10.

Pressure is on the Argos to open up the offence.

Riders have dominated the 4th quarter. Argos need to get a few first downs
