был Футбольный сезон в колледже 1959 года 91 -м сезоном межвузовского футбола в Соединенных Штатах. Это завершилось тем, что две команды претендовали на крупный национальный чемпионат колледжа:

Позади будущего Heisman Trophy победителя Эрни Дэвис , орангемы доказали, что решение избирателей назвать их национальными чемпионами в финальных опросах было мудрым. Это была первая хлопковая чаша для Longhorns под руководством тренера Даррелла Рояла , который направил Техас на национальные чемпионаты в 1963 , 1969 и 1970 годах , и составил рекорд в карьере 167–47–5 (0,774) в Остине с 1957 по 1976 год .
Ole Miss систематически разрушила LSU в сахарной миске. LSU была единственной потерей Оле Мисс в регулярном сезоне. Повстанцы превзошли победителя The Bayou Bengals и Heisman Trophy Билли Кэннон 373–74 перед в значительной степени Pro-LSU, из которой более 83 000 человек на стадионе Тулэйн . Сразу после игры Кэннон подписал контракт с Хьюстонскими Ойлерз из молодой американской футбольной лиги , отвергнув Лос-Анджелес Рэмс и генеральный директор Пит Розель , который станет комиссаром Национальной футбольной лиги в конце января.
