Troy Aikman won three Super Bowls, but he never beat the Trojans. The UCLA legend was matched up against Rodney Peete in 1987 and 1988 with the Rose Bowl on the line, and both times USC prevailed.
The 1988 game was a bit more historic as Peete did not practice all week. The quarterback was laid up in the hospital with the measles, but he rallied on game day to lead the Trojans to a 31-22 victory.
However, the 1987 game provided one of the most dramatic endings to a Crosstown Rivalry as Erik Affholter juggled home the winning score. Take a look from the new documentary "A City Divided"...
