In their second season under head coach Fred Norcross, the Aggies compiled a perfect 6–0 record, did not allow any of their opponents to score, and outscored their opponents by a combined total of 137 to 0. The Aggies' victories included games against Oregon (4–0), the Pacific Boxers (49–0), and Willamette (42–0).[1]
Oregon Agricultural's final game of the season, at St. Vincent's in Los Angeles, was a Thanksgiving Day matchup of the "champions" of the Northwest and the "champions" of California, with the winner taking home the "championship" of the entire West Coast.[2] After beating St. Vincent's, the Aggies' proclaimed themselves "Champions of the Pacific Coast".[3]
This is still the only perfect season in Oregon State history, and moreover, they did not allow a single point this season.
