Chad Kackert ran through, around and over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday.
The sophomore running back rushed for a careerbest 172 yards and three touchdowns to power the Toronto Argonauts past the Tiger-Cats 45-31 at Rogers Centre to sweep their Labour Day series.
The five-foot-nine, 192pound Kackert was making just his fourth start of the season since starter Cory Boyd was released last month. His 43-yard TD run opened the scoring in the first but it was Kackert's acrobatic 11-yard touchdown scamper at 2: 36 of the fourth that cemented the win for the Argos (6-4).
The score flattered Hamilton (3-7), which has lost five straight and scored two late touchdowns to make it close. The Ticats were often their own worst enemy with 13 penalties for 151 yards.
