Football: Nick Arbuckle and the Argos shocked Winnipeg in the Grey Cup

Arbuckle was named Grey Cup MVP — an improbable achievement for the 31-year-old journeyman who nearly quit playing last spring and was only on the field yesterday because starter Chad Kelly broke his ankle last week. Argos receiver Dejon Brissett (the older brother of NBA player Oshae Brissett) was voted the top Canadian after making five catches for 45 yards and a touchdown.

They're the first franchise to lose three straight Grey Cups since the 1954-56 Montreal Alouettes.

Saturday's Canadian university football semifinals went more according to plan. Second-ranked Laurier defeated No. 6 Bishop's 48-24 in the Uteck Bowl, while No. 3 Laval scored a touchdown with 79 seconds left to beat unranked Regina 17-14 and avoid a big upset in the Mitchell Bowl. Laval and Laurier will play for the Vanier Cup this Saturday in Kingston, Ont.
