TORONTO - Nick Arbuckle threw for a career-high 430 yards with three touchdowns while rushing for another to lead the Toronto Argonauts to a 52-34 shoutout victory over the B.C. Lions on Saturday afternoon.
Toronto (3-8) won for the first time in three games and improved to 2-4 at BMO Field.
B.C. (5-6) suffered its first loss in three games.
Sean Whyte's 14-yard field goal at 3:17 of the fourth quarter cut B.C.'s deficit to 42-33. But Arbuckle countered with a 70-yard touchdown pass to Jake Herslow at 3:34 to put Toronto ahead 49-33, delighting the season-high BMO Field gathering of 18,354.
And then Branden Dozier gave the home crowd more to cheer about after he recovered B.C. quarterback Nathan Rourke's fumble at the Toronto 43-yard line with just over four minutes remaining. Toronto
