VANCOUVER — Ralph Holley began the season as an unheralded rookie on the practice roster but finished it leaving his mark on a Grey Cup title.
The six-foot-one 285-pound defensive tackle registered no individual statistics in the Toronto Argonauts' 41-24 victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Sunday night. But he was involved in the play that significantly affected the outcome.
"I was coming down and felt his hand hit my helmet," Holley said."I saw him shaking his hand after that, which ended up turning the whole game." "Well, defence wins championships and we knew we had to score and that's what we've been trying to do all playoffs," said veteran Toronto safety Royce Metchie."Just try to create turnovers and score."
Toronto sacked Collaros just once Sunday but the Bombers quarterback was just 15-of-30 passing for 202 yards. In addition to the four interceptions, Winnipeg also lost a fumble. "That's the thing, why not," Holley said."Everybody counted us out all year and our defence just stayed to what we knew.
