Rookie quarterback Sean Salisbury from USC passed for the Seattle Seahawks’ only two touchdowns against the Houston Oilers in a scrimmage before 8,428 fans at the Kingdome.
Salisbury, a free agent, completed 4 of 5 passes for 145 passes, including a 65-yard scoring play to Earl Winfield and a 27-yard touchdown play to Byron Franklin.
“That was real fun out there,” Salisbury said. “It was something I’ve always dreamed about.”
Seahawk Coach Chuck Knox said: “He threw the ball well.”
