Argos prepared to face Glenn or Bridge in East final versus Riders
TORONTO — The last time the Toronto Argonauts faced the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Corey Chamblin wasn’t sure if his defence would face Brandon Bridge.
This time, Chamblin says the unit will be ready for the elusive Canadian quarterback if he steps on to the field.
Toronto hosts Saskatchewan on Sunday in the East Division final at BMO Field, with the winner advancing to the Grey Cup on Nov. 26 in Ottawa. The Riders swept the season series 2-0 and are coming off a solid 31-20 semifinal win over the defending-champion Ottawa Redblacks.
Bridge played a major role in Saskatchewan’s 27-24 road win over Toronto on Oct. 7. The six-foot-five, 230-pound Mississauga, Ont., native was 20-of-28 passing for 292 yards and the two TDs in relief of starter Kevin Glenn. Bridge came in during the first half with the Riders trailing 16-3 after Glenn completed just three-of-eight passes for 29 yards.
