Oregon finished the season with a record of seven wins, zero losses and one tie (7–0–1 overall, 2–0–1 in the PCC) and with a victory over Penn in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day.
This was first Oregon football team to play to the school's Mighty Oregon fight song, which was first performed on January 7, 1916.[1]
In 2016 the Oregon Ducks wore Webfoot throwback jerseys in their game vs. Washington to celebrate the 100th anniversary of both the fight song and the 1916 squad.[2]
In their first conference game of the season the Webfoots defeated the California Golden Bears 39–14, allowing their only two touchdowns of the season during the game.
