Young, defeated Missouri with a last second halfback pass. This season's edition of the annual rivalry game between Oregon and Oregon State is still widely known and derided as "The Toilet Bowl", as the teams played to a 0–0 tie, the last scoreless tie in college football. The game featured 11 total turnovers, as 6 fumbles were lost (out of 11 total), 5 interceptions, and 4 missed field goals. This season saw no conference have two or more teams tie for the title—an event that did not happen again in either Division I-A or its successor, Division I FBS, until 2009. (Note, however, that even when a conference officially recognizes multiple champions, it will invariably have some kind of tiebreaker system to determine placement for bowl berths.) Rule changes The winner of the pre-game coin toss now has the option to defer their choice to the second half. Roughing the passer now includes an automatic first down in addition to yardage penalties. Running into the kicker is now a foul, with a five-yard penalty assessed. Unsportsmanlike conduct will be called against a kicker or punter who feigns being roughed to draw a penalty. Unsportsmanlike conduct will also be called for taunting a defender with the ball, spiking the ball, etc. against a player or if an entire team runs onto the field to celebrate a score. A two-yard buffer (halo) is established around a kick/punt returner when the ball begins its downward flight. Conferences are permitted to add a seventh official (side judge) to their crews. The Big Ten Conference is the first to establish seven-man crews. Extended the "team area" from 30-yard line to 25-yard line. Penalties that occur at the end of any quarter will cause the period to be extended for one un-timed down. The visiting team must wear white jerseys. This rule change mostly affected Georgia Tech and LSU, which traditionally wore white at home. Conference and program changes Admitted as a non-football member of the Atlantic Coast Conference in 1979, Georgia Tech played its first season of ACC football in 1983 after 19 seasons as an independent. September Big 8 rivals Nebraska and Oklahoma were No. 1 and No. 2 in the preseason AP Poll, followed by No. 3 Texas. Defending champion Penn State was No. 4, and Auburn was No. 5. In the kickoff classic on August 29, No. 1 Nebraska routed No. 4
