Alabama Seeks Third Straight Title With Upset Losses
The 1980 college football season saw Alabama win a second straight national title but fail in a bid for a historic third in a row. Georgia, led by freshman Herschel Walker, claimed the championship with a 17-10 win over Notre Dame on New Year’s Day, while Notre Dame hired Gerry Faust after Dan Devine’s resignation. High honors went to George Rogers, Jim McMahon, and Dave Young, as Georgia, Oklahoma, Michigan, and others topped final AP rankings despite coaching churn and earlier recruiting scandals.
