In their seventh year under head coach Leroy Montgomery, the Aggies compiled a perfect 11–0 record, defeated the Bakersfield Renegades in the Junior Rose Bowl, and were selected as the junior college national champion in the final JC Gridwire poll of 1961.[1]

Kelly led the team during the regular season with 712 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 134 carries, an average of 5.3 yards per carry. Looney placed second with 531 yards and 10 touchdowns on 109 carries for an average of 5.8 yards per carry. Looney also punted for Cameron, averaging 38.6 yards on 17 punts. Harper led the team in passing, completing 26 of 56 attempts for 538 yards, nine touchdowns, and three interceptions.
