After Texas' initial field goal, Notre Dame scored 21 straight points.[5] Texas scored in the second quarter and Notre Dame added a field goal to lead 24–11 at halftime.[3] Parseghian's defense held the Longhorn wishbone offense in check the rest of the game and the second half was scoreless.[6] Texas committed six turnovers (five fumbles and an interception) while Notre Dame had only two turnovers.[7]
Aftermath
It ended the Longhorns' 30-game winning streak,[3] which is currently (as of October 2011) the 12th longest winning streak in NCAA Division I records. Notre Dame had defeated Oklahoma in 1957 to end their 47-game win streak.[8]
Second-ranked Ohio State lost to Stanford in the Rose Bowl, while #3 Nebraska won the Orange Bowl and was named the AP national champion for the 1970 season, with Notre Dame as runner-up.[1]
Texas had been selected as the national champion by the UPI Coaches' Poll,[9] whose final edition was then released at the end of the regular season, prior to bowl games. After a similar occurrence in 1973, the Coaches Poll released its final edition after the bowl games, starting with the 1974 season.
