Jim Plunkett Football Honors
In 1970 Jim Plunkett became Stanford’sfirst and only player to win the
Heisman Trophy Award as the bestplayer in college football. Plunkett ledthe Indians to the Pacific-8 ConferenceChampionship with a 9-3 record,including a thrilling 27-17 upset victoryover previously undefeated Ohio State inthe Rose Bowl. He was the runaway win-ner for the trophy, garnering 510 of 1,059first-place ballots cast. He compiled2,299 points to 1,401 for runner-up JoeTheismann of Notre Dame. In additionto the Heisman, Plunkett won theMaxwell Award, was a consensus First-Team All-America, andwas namedPlayer of theYear by UnitedPress International,Sporting News, SportMagazine, the WalterCamp Association,and the AmericanCollege Football Coaches
Association. He completed 191 of 358 passes for 2,715yards, and he ran for another 183 yards, giving him 2,898yards of total offense that season (a school and Pac-8record). Highlights of the season included his 275 passingyards in a 24-14 drubbing of USC, 22-of-36 passing for 268yards and four touchdowns in a 29-22 win against
Washington, and a phenomenal 20-of-30 for 265 yardsin the 1971 Rose Bowl, Plunkett’s final game.
After finishing eighth in the Heisman bal-loting as a junior in 1969, Plunkett turneddown an opportunity to turn pro and
returned to Stanford for his senior season.“Coach (John) Ralston, all of our coach-es, and my teammates have been build-ing something at Stanford for the pastcouple of years,” Plunkett explained. “IfI were to leave now, I would alwayshave the feeling that I let them downbefore our goals were reached. Besides,we are always telling kids today not todrop out, to finish school, to set tar-gets and to work towards them. Whatwould they think if I were to drop outnow for professional football?”
Plunkett returned to Stanford forthe 1970 season and wound up hav-
ing a storybook year he would never forget. He led theIndians to their first Rose Bowl appearance in 19 years antheir first Rose Bowl victory in 30 seasons. His performancein the Rose Bowl earned him Most Valuable Player honors.He finished his career with 7,887 yards in total offense,which not only set a Stanford record but it established anew NCAA record.
He went on to become the number-one draft pick in theNFL by the New England Patriots. He played 16 seasons inthe NFL with the Patriots, San Francisco 49ers andOakland/Los Angeles Raiders. He was named NFL Rookieof the Year in ’71 and won two Super Bowl championshipswith the Raiders. He was the MVP of Super Bowl XV fol-lowing the 1981 season when he led the Oakland Raidersover the Philadelphia Eagles. Three years later, Plunkett ledthe Los Angeles Raiders to a victory in Super Bowl XVIIIover the Washington Redskins.
In November, 1991, Plunkett’s jersey number 16 becamethe second number retired in Stanford history (the other isErnie Never’s number one). He is a member of the CollegeFootball Hall of Fame and the Stanford Athletic Hall ofFame.
