A classic regular season game between the Argos and Eskimos from Commonwealth Stadium.

Condredge Holloway starts for Toronto and Matt Dunigan starts for Edmonton.

I had forgotten how badly the Edmonton fans used to boo Ilesic after he left them to come to the Argos.

Fun watching this game, pretty apparent that DK Smith was going to be an excellent receiver in the CFL.

The Argos had a pretty good receiving corps in 1986 that consisted of Chris Woods, Darrell Smith, Ken Joiner and Paul Pearson, among others. Craig Ellis was good as a receiver out of the backfield, but not as good as a running back. The major flaw of that team was an OL that allowed 103 sacks.

Yeah, they were really hard on Ilesic for years.
