Ouellette scores 3 TDs as Argonauts improve to 2-0 with win over Elks

A.J. Ouellette scored three touchdowns as the defending Grey Cup champion Toronto Argonauts remained undefeated on the season with a 43-31 victory over the Edmonton Elks on Sunday.

Ouellette only had two touchdowns in 13 games for the Argos last season.

The Argos improved to 2-0, while the Elks are off to a rough start at 0-3.

Edmonton started the scoring on its second possession midway through the opening quarter, a relief after being shutout for the first time in 47 years last week when they fell 22-0 to the B.C. Lions. A 42-yard punt return by C.J. Sims launched a drive that would be completed when Kevin Brown reeled in a Taylor Cornelius pass and dove into the end zone for a 13-yard touchdown.

The Argonauts responded with a major of their own on the next drive engineered by quarterback Chad Kelly, getting a three-yard rushing major from Ouellette.
