Purdue scored 24 points in the 1st quarter, including a 52-yard touchdown run by RB Pete Gross, on their way to a stunning 31-20 win ending the 7-game Belt reign of Notre Dame while claiming both The Belt & the Shillelagh Trophy.

The Air Force Falcons of coach Ben Martin had their second title shot having lost at Notre Dame in 1973. Air Force came to their first home game with a 0-2 record while the UCLA Bruins were 2-0 under Dick Vermeil. The Falcons appeared to present little problem to the Pac-8 power but UCLA may have been looking ahead to a match-up with Big Ten power Ohio State the following week. UCLA’s All-American QB John Sciarra threw 3 interceptions including 1 returned for an Air Force touchdown but RB Wendell Tyler rushed for 142 yards & the Bruins retained The Belt with a 20-20 tie with the Falcons. Air Force could not claim the title since they did not defeat the champion (“To Be The Man, You Have To Beat The Man”).
