Absolutely. The president awarded Texas the NC trophy in the locker room after the game
"I'd like to know how could the president know so little about Watergate in 1973 and so much about college football in 1969?"
Penn State was undefeated for two years in a row and finished #2 in 1969, even #3 behind 9-0-1 USC the year before.
Texas beat #9 Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl 21-17.
Penn State beat #4 Missouri 10-3 in the Orange Bowl.
But the President had already spoken.

Penn State was Independent. Joe Paterno let the players decide in 1969 where they wanted to play. They could have chosen the Cotton Bowl and played for all the marbles. The players said no.

1969 Penn State would have ROLLED either Texas or Arkansas. That team was loaded on both sides of the ball.
