Quarterback Dave Dickenson was perfect on a series of short precision passes , taking the Lions from their own 38 - yard - line down the field for a touchdown and an early 7 - 0 lead . The scoring play was a 12 - yard toss to Clermont on a play fake that drew away the Toronto defence , which looked bewildered on the whole series . Toronto nearly hit a field goal later in the quarter , but a flag was thrown on Noel Prefontaine ' s 39 - yard attempt . The subsequent kick from 47 yards missed , leaving BC pinned near its own goal line . But Dickenson engineered a series of first downs as the quarter wound down , moving the Lions to midfield with help from receivers Geroy Simon and Ryan Thelwell and a nine - yard carry by Antonio Warren . Duncan O ' Mahony punted as the quarter ended , angling the ball out of bounds at the Argos ' 21 - yard line . Overall , BC had the ball in their possession a whopping 11 minutes in the opening 15 . Damon Allen failed to ignite the Argos offence early in the second quarter , despite two quick chances thanks to a punt return fumble by Aaron Lockett of the Lions . On the second of two Noel Prefontaine punts , Lockett held on to the ball and ran BC to its own 50 - yard line . But the Lions couldn ' t move the ball . Trying to avoid dangerous punt returner Bashir Levingston , BC kicker Duncan O ' Mahony angled his punt out of bounds for only nine yards , giving Toronto good field position . A long completion from Allen to R . Jay Soward moved the Argos to the BC 20 , and a 27 - yard field goal by Prefontaine put Toronto on the board . Allen began to find his receivers on Toronto ' s next drive , hitting Robert Baker for a 35 - yarder and a 20 - yarder to move inside the Lions ' red zone . A pass interference call against the Lions then put the ball at the 1 - yard line , and Allen plunged across for the touchdown and the Argos ' first lead . BC responded immediately , getting into field goal range on a Jason Clermont catch from Dave Dickenson . Duncan O ' Mahony hit a 42 - yarder to draw the Lions even . But just before the half , Allen again connected with Baker for a 23 - yard touchdown . The field - position advantage enjoyed by the Toronto Argonauts in the second quarter continued on the opening drive of the second half , as Allen got the ball at midfield . Allen moved the ball efficiently again , and for the second time in the game dove for a one - yard touchdown to give the Argos a 14 - point lead . Dave Dickenson had some success moving the ball for BC , but the Lions could only muster a 36 - yard field goal by Duncan O ' Mahony . On Toronto ' s next possession , Allen went down with an apparent leg injury while running for a first down . Ironically , the play was called back on a holding penalty . Michael Bishop replaced Allen at quarterback while the 41 - year - old received treatment on the bench . The Lions defence got its best pressure of the game on Bishop early in the fourth , forcing an errant pass then nearly causing a fumble on the next play . Dave Dickenson took over for the Lions at his own 10 - yard line , and engineered an impressive drive . Lyle Green caught two passes for first downs before running back Antonio Warren took over . Warren ran for 30 and 15 yards , setting up a Lions touchdown on Dave Dickenson ' s five - yard rush and dive into the end zone . Two consecutive time - count violations on a two - point conversion attempt pushed Duncan O ' Mahony back for a 22 - yard convert attempt that went wide . Damon Allen returned to the game for the Argos , and was promptly decked as he tried to pass by a charging Barrin Simpson . Dickenson just missed a streaking Geroy Simon ' s outstretched hands to stop the next BC drive , and Toronto took over again with a short field . Allen found Tony Miles wide open and pushed down to the Lions ' 10 - yard line with the clock at three minutes and counting . Noel Prefontaine pushed the Argos ' lead to eight points on a short field goal . BC failed to move the ball on what would turn out to be its last chance with the ball , Dickenson just missing the outstretched hands of Simon on a bomb attempt . With the ball back , the Argos got two crucial first downs and wound down the clock to win the game and their 15th Grey Cup .
