Midway through the 1985 season, [Rodney Peete] replaced former Orange Glen High star Sean Salisbury at quarterback, and USC’s stagnant offense immediately picked up http://www.carpaltunnel-cure.com/. Peete directed a 17-13 upset of UCLA in the Trojans’ regular-season finale but suffered a career-threatening injury — a partially torn Achilles tendon — in USC’s Aloha Bowl loss to Alabama. “With a healthy Rodney Peete, I think we can be a very explosive football team,” [Ted Tollner] said recently. http://www.carpaltunnel-cure.com/ “Without him, I don’t know. But our backfield has been very pleasing in fall practice, and Peete has not only recovered, he has improved. If anything, he is quicker than he was before. ” When Tollner was named USC coach after the 1982 season, he inherited a once-powerful team that had been decimated by a year of NCAA probation and several poor recruiting seasons under John Robinson. After going 4-6-1 in Tollner’s first year — USC’s first losing season since 1961, when John McKay went 4-5-1 — the Trojans rebounded to 9-3 in 1984 and defeated Ohio State in the Rose Bowl, 20-17.
