In their seventh year under head coach Murray Warmath, the Golden Gophers compiled an 8-2 record and outscored their opponents by a combined total of 228 to 88. The Gophers won their seventh and most recent national title. The team finished first in both the Associated Press (AP) and United Press International (UPI) polls.
