The 68th Grey Cup was played on November 23, 1980, before 54,661 fans at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto.
The Edmonton Eskimos defeated the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 48–10 in one of the most lopsided victories in Grey Cup history.
Edmonton Eskimos - 48 Touchdowns - Tom Scott (3); Jim Germany (2); Brian Kelly (1) Field Goals - Dave Cutler (2) Converts - Dave Cutler (6) Hamilton Tiger-Cats - 10 Field Goals - Bernie Ruoff (3) Single - Bernie Ruoff (1) Referee Don Barker called the game with four seconds remaining, as jubilant fans had by that point stormed the playing field.
Though Eskimo fans cherish this as Edmonton's most dominating triumph and their third consecutive of a record five straight Grey Cup victories, the 1980 game was hardly a classic; it remains one of the biggest blowouts in CFL championship history.
As of 2021, the 1980 game is the most recent Grey Cup in which one team did not score a touchdown.
