1980 was a significant year because that was the year they started allowing offensive linemen to "use their hands" in CFB.
Prior to that year Offensive linemen had to keep their hands against their chest when they blocked. No hands extended. That was considered holding.
It took a while but that was basically the beginning of the end for triple option offenses and the beginning of the passing oriented offenses we see today.

ep. The 1980s were a huge transitional period for the sport of football as a whole as you started to see the passing game become more relevant in both college and the NFL. Teams like San Francisco in the NFL and Miami at the collegiate level spearheaded that transition.
