WINNIPEG — Nick Arbuckle threw Edmonton’s only two touchdown passes in the Elks’ 30-20 exhibition win over the Blue Bombers on Friday, but he viewed it as a quarterback group victory.
Arbuckle was 9-of-10 passing for 145 yards in his first game action with the Elks. The three-year veteran was acquired last October in a trade with the Toronto Argonauts, but never got into a game with his new teammates. The back-to-back Grey Cup-champion Bombers played a number of their starters on both sides of the ball, but sat starting quarterback Zach Collaros.
Elks head coach and general manager Chris Jones hasn’t declared his starting quarterback and looked at four options: Arbuckle, Taylor Cornelius, Tre Ford and Kai Locksley. Most of Edmonton’s starting offensive line suited up to help with the auditions. Elks kicker Gregory Hutchins connected on field goals from 44, 15 and 24 yards and made two convert attempts. Rafael Gaglianone was also good on a convert but went wide on a 49-yard field-goal attempt.
The second-year Bomber first aired out a 49-yard completion to Nic Demski, then capped it off with a two-yard touchdown toss to Schoen at 12:59. Arbuckle also started the second half, but a pass to Charles Nelson didn’t end well. Nelson couldn’t hang on to the ball, fumbled and Winnipeg recovered.
Got to say the GoElks helmets look way better now.
