At Notre Dame, Theismann became the
starting quarterback
in his sophomore year, after
Terry Hanratty
was injured late in the season. In the three remaining games in the regular season, he led the Irish to two wins and a tie. In 1969, Theismann led the Irish to a number five ranking, but lost to the
University of Texas
in the
1970 Cotton Bowl Classic
, 21–17. The next year, the Irish had a 10–1 record, a number two ranking, and won against Texas in the
1971 Cotton Bowl Classic
, 24–11. That year, Theismann was an
All-American
and an
Academic All-American
, and was in contention for the
Heisman Trophy
.
Theismann set school records for passing yards in a season (2,429) and touchdowns in a season (16). He also set a school record for passing yards in a game (526) and completions in a game (33) while playing against the
University of Southern California
in a torrential downpour in 1970, which they lost 38–28. As a starting quarterback, Theismann compiled a 20–3–2 record while throwing for 4,411 yards and 31 touchdowns. His 4,411 passing yards rank fifth on Notre Dame's career passing list.
Theismann was inducted into the
College Football Hall of Fame
in 2003.
He was the eighth Notre Dame quarterback enshrined into the hall, joining former Heisman Trophy winners
Angelo
Bertelli
,
John Lujack
, and
Paul Hornung
.
