Aftermath

Although 1972 was a letdown season after two consecutive national championships,[8] the Huskers were the first to three-peat in the Orange Bowl and finished fourth in the final AP poll at {{nowrap|9–2–1.}} Rodgers scored four touchdowns and threw for another in his final collegiate game, and sat out the final twenty minutes. The final UPI coaches poll was released in early December, prior to the bowls, and had the Huskers ninth.

The 1972 season also was the only three-loss season in Parseghian's eleven years at Notre Dame and they fell to fourteenth in the final AP poll; the Irish rebounded in 1973 to finish {{nowrap|11–0}} and win the national championship.
