Seattle training camp surprise Sean Salisbury passed for two touchdowns Friday night to help the Seahawks beat the Indianapolis Colts, 21-14, in the National Football League exhibition opener for both clubs at Seattle.

Salisbury, a rookie free agent from University of Southern California, teamed with tight end Gordon Hudson for a two-yard touchdown pass and hit Byron Franklin with a 20-yard scoring pass. Both came in the second quarter.

New Colts’ starting quarterback Gary Hogeboom, acquired in an April trade with Dallas, passed 25 yards to Ricky Nichols in the third quarter and Indianapolis scored with 4:07 remaining on a one-yard run by Albert Bentley.
