The Cal Lutheran Kingsmen defeated the Westminster Titans, the defending national champion, in the championship game, 30–14, to win their first NAIA national title. The game was covered by Los Angeles Times sportswriter Jim Murray. The game was also televised nationally on NBC and nearly 10,000 spectators saw the game at Mt. Clef field. [4] Cal Lutheran’s head coach Robert Shoup was named National Assn. of Intercollegiate Athletics Coach of the Year and Lutheran Coach of the Year following the championship win. [5] [6] The university held a celebration in conjunction with the Dallas Cowboys, who won Super Bowl VI, at the Hollywood Palladium.

Several Cal Lutheran players were drafted for NFL teams after the championship game, including Brian Kelley by the New York Giants and Sam Cvijanovich. Mike Sheppard and Ralph Miller were other notable Kingsmen players. While Bob Shoup was the team's head coach, Don Green was the assistant coach.

Background and championship game

The championship game was played at Mount Clef Field.

The championship season concluded in the first week of December in 1971. CLC barely made it into the four-team national playoffs as the fourth-seeded team. After whipping Montana Tech 34-6 in the semifinals, the Kingsmen played host in the title game to Westminster, the defending NAIA champion which had ranked No. 1 all season. Montana Tech had the best running attack and the highest scorer in the U.S. Besides being the defending champs, they were undefeated in 24 games. Westminster seemed as a sure winner and CLC was the underdog. [8] The Montana Tech team was led by running back Don Heater, who had gained 1,797 yards and scored 25 touchdowns in ten games. [9]

For Cal Lutheran, however, a winning streak had begun in 1965 and lasted for several years, bringing in an 8-1 record in 1965 ("Year of the Champions"), 8-2 in 1966 ("Year of the Victors"), and 7-2 in 1967 ("Year of the Conquerors"). In 1968, the college appeared for the first time in the national rankings, coming in ninth. Robbie Robinson's seventeen field goals in 1969 ("Year of the Warriors") set an NAIA record and the team moved up to seventh place. Cal Lutheran headed to the championship with an 8-1 record in 1970. [10]

The strongest personalities on the Kingsmen team have been described as Jim Baeuer, Sam Cvijanovich, Brian Kelley, and Ralph Miller. Cvijanovich was described as the hardest hitter coach Shoup ever met, while Ralph Miller (nicknamed “Magic Mountain”) was the team’s largest player at 6’4” and 260 lbs. Brian Kelly, who later enjoyed an eleven-year NFL career, was known as “the Ralph Miller of the defense.” After a field goal by Richard Kelley furthered Cal Lutheran’s lead 24-14, Brian Kelley completed the scoring by returning an interception 33 yards for a touchdown. The Cal Lutheran team had received 23 points in the forth corner and became the national champions. [11]

Aftermath

Kelley has been recognized for having helped the team win the NAIA Championship and was named the most valuable player of the game. In 1972, Kelley was selected to the NAIA All-America First Team, NAIA District 3 Defensive First Team and the All-Lutheran College Defensive First Team. He was also a wrestler and an NAIA District III Heavyweight Champion. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in May 2010. [12] [13] He has also been inducted into Cal Lutheran Hall of Fame. [14] In the game, Mike Sheppard was named the defensive player of the game. [15] Middle linebacker Sam Cvijanovich was named 1971 NAIA District III Player of the Year. [16]

A banquet of the champions was held in February 1972 at the Hollywood Palladium in order to honor the Kingsmen football team and the Dallas Cowboys, an NFL team based at Cal Lutheran who won their first Super Bowl in January 1972. The NFL team had been located at CLC for nine summers prior to its Super Bowl win. [17] There was a strong bond between the NFL team and the university, which was known as “the summer home of the Dallas Cowboys.” The Cal Lutheran coach, Bob Shoup, attended a sort of “informal summer school” for 26 years with Tom Landry as his teacher. Shoup spent much time around the NFL players, observed them play and picked up tricks. He has been described as the “de facto host” for the Dallas Cowboys at Cal Lutheran. [18]

A Bob Shoup statue was erected on University Plaza at California Lutheran University on October 18, 2014, in homage to Shoup’s 1971 Kingsmen team. [19]

Notable players

Numerous of the CLU players were later drafted for professional teams, including Brian Kelley by the New York Giants and Sam Cvijanovich. Other key players in the game were Mike Sheppard, later receivers coach with the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens, and Ralph Miller, who later joined the Houston Oilers and played five years in the National, Canadian and World Football Leagues. Sam Cvijanovich, who later became a player in the Canadian Football League, was named NAIA Player of the Year following the championship game. While Bob Shoup was the team's head coach, Don Green was the assistant coach. Green was also the father of Doni Green, a notable player in the championship. Another notable player was Jim Bauer, the brother of Hank Bauer who also played football for the Kingsmen. [20] [21] [22]
