Rankings from AP small college poll

In their sixth year under head coach Fred Dunlap, the Engineers compiled a 4–6 record. Thad Jamula and Geo Nicholson were the team captains.

Following the decision by the Middle Atlantic Conference to end football competition in its University Division, the Engineers competed as a football independent in 1970, though five of the former league rivals (Bucknell, Delaware, Gettysburg, Lafayette and Lehigh) continued to play an informal round-robin called the "Middle Five".

The three-way rivalry with Lafayette and Rutgers remained on Lehigh's football schedule, but press reports in 1970 make no mention of a Middle Three Conference champion.

Lehigh played its home games at Taylor Stadium on the university campus in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
