REGINA -- Will Ford wasnt sure if hed be the Saskatchewan Roughriders starting running back when he signed with the CFL club earlier in the week. Ultra Boost Norge . But after a three-touchdown performance Saturday night to lead the Riders over the visiting Toronto Argonauts 37-9 at Mosaic Stadium, Ford made a strong case for himself. An East Division All-Star with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2013, Ford says he came to Regina ready for any chance hed get. "Opportunities are limited, so youve got to take advantage of them no matter what," he said. "I came here to work and put the team in a position to win." The newly signed running back scored first-half touchdowns of 20, three and two yards in his debut for Saskatchewan (2-2), while running for a total of 113 yards. He also had 24 receiving yards. Fords three touchdowns on the ground were one shy of the single-game franchise record held by Ferd Burket, Milson Jones and George Reed. The injury-depleted Argonauts (1-4) meanwhile, dropped their third straight game. Torontos lone victory came against the Riders at Rogers Centre in Week 2. As good as Ford was in his debut, Saskatchewan quarterback Darian Durant held off on referring to him as the teams "answer at running back." "Man, you can never crown anyone off of one game -- its a long way to go," said Durant, who connected on nine of 17 pass attempts for 155 yards and an interception. "I think Will still has some improving to do ... He did a great job of running the ball in key situations. "But we all have to pick our game up." Ford echoed his quarterbacks words. "Its going to take time," he said. "Ive got a few mistakes that Ive got to work on. I stay down on myself when I make mistakes. Im going to watch film, correct those mistakes and see what happens." Roughriders coach Corey Chamblin said he wasnt expecting a perfect game from Ford. "He hadnt even been close to a training camp for us," Chamblin said of his new running back. "Just throwing him in there, we expected some mistakes. ... But we just wanted to play fast in spite of it, and I thought the guys did that." Durant surpassed the 2,500 career rushing yards mark, picking up 28 yards on the ground and running in a touchdown during the game. Argos quarterback Ricky Ray, meanwhile, was 23-of-35 passing for 221 yards and two interceptions. Toronto backup Trevor Harris completed 8-of-12 passes for 80 yards. While Durant and Ford took care of the offence, Saskatchewans defence also played its part, stifling Ray and the Argos throughout the game. Toronto running back Curtis Steele was held to just 32 yards on the ground on seven carries. Maurice Mann led Argos receivers with 62 yards. Tyron Brackenridge intercepted Ray on his first pass attempt of the night, and Tearrius George forced and recovered a Ray fumble when the Argonauts returned to the field -- the second of five turnovers forced by Saskatchewan. The Riders also forced Toronto to punt on four second-quarter possessions. Mark Legree notched a late second-half interception, shortly before the half ended with the Riders up 28-6. Roughriders kicker Chris Milo nailed a 39-yard field goal in the third quarter, and booted field goals from 38 and 43 yards in the fourth. Toronto kicker Swayze Waters replied with field goals of 17, 16 and 40 yards for the only Argos points of the game. Durant opened the scoring, taking advantage of the Brackenridge interception with a 10-yard touchdown run on the Riders first possession. Ford scored his first touchdown two minutes later to give the Riders a 14-0 edge. Waters replied with two field goals to get the Argos to within eight points as the first quarter drew to a close. Fords second TD made it a 21-6 game less than a minute into the second quarter, and his third two minutes later gave the Riders a 28-6 advantage. The Riders visit the Ottawa Redblacks Saturday while the Argos host the Montreal Alouettes on Friday. Nmd r1 Norge .

Coburn said on ABCs "Good Morning America" he was "very ashamed of myself. Very ashamed. I need to apologize to a lot of people, including my wife, Carolyn." She tried to intervene as Saturdays interview got out of control, explaining that her husband was "very emotional and I was trying to calm him down." Coburn also apologized to the connections of winning horse Tonalist, saying: "I did not mean to take anything away from them." On Saturday, he had said that Tonalist took "the cowards way out" by skipping the first two legs of the Triple Crown. Sunday, he doubled down by pointing out that "it wouldnt be fair if I played basketball with a child in a wheelchair because I got an unfair advantage." By Monday though, he tried to make amends. Coburns lower lip quivered at times during the interview in which he apologized to co-owner Perry Maartin and trainer Art Sherman, among others. Adidas Gazelle Tilbud. "I need to apologize to the world and America, our fans that have written us, given us so much support. I apologize, I sincerely apologize," Coburn said. "This is Americas horse. I wanted this so much, for this horse to win the Triple Crown for the people of America." If the Belmont had only been open to horses than ran in the Derby and Preakness, there would have been just three horses in Saturdays race, making it unlikely the third-largest crowd of 102,199 would have shown up or that a record $19,105,877 would have been wagered on-track. California Chrome, General a Rod and Ride On Curlin were the only horses to run in all three. General a Rod finished seventh in the Belmont and Ride On Curlin did not finish. California Chrome beat them both, but finished tied for fourth, possibly as a result of a cut foot that he apparently sustained after bumping another horse leaving the starting gate. "Hell be able to race again," Coburn said. ' ' '
