ARGOS 27 TIGER CATS 17

Ricky Williams is going to have to get used to taking handoffs from Spergon Wynn for the next little while.

Wynn threw two touchdown passes replacing an injured Damon Allen, while Williams ran for 97 yards on 18 carries in his CFL debut as the Toronto Argonauts beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 27-17 on Saturday in the season opener for both teams.

The loud, but disappointing Rogers Centre gathering of 27,689, had barely got into their seats when Allen, the CFL's outstanding player last year, broke the middle finger on his right hand on Toronto's third play. Allen was injured trying to break his fall after taking a late hit from Hamilton safety Wayne Shaw, who was penalized on the play.

That brought in Wynn, who struggled in Toronto's two exhibition losses to Hamilton. But Wynn, who finished 18 of 28 passing for 224 yards, hit Tony Miles with a 26-yard TD strike on his first play from scrimmage to open the scoring.

GO ARGOS GO!!!
