The 1978 Hall of Fame Classic was a college football postseason bowl game that featured the Texas A&M Aggies and the Iowa State Cyclones.
The Cyclones had finished 8–3 for the third straight year, going from being tied for 4th to 2nd to 3rd, respectively. This was their fourth bowl game of the decade. Emory Bellard had resigned as Aggie head coach after a 4–0 start led to two straight losses in Southwest Conference play. Tom Wilson led the Aggies to a 3–2 record down the stretch to get A&M to their fourth straight bowl season.
