The team played its five home games at Sparks Stadium in Puyallup, Washington, and also played three of its games (including one playoff games) at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington, located 10 miles to the northwest of Puyallup.

The undefeated 1993 season was generated by an outstanding offensive attack led by All-American's Marc Weekly, Chad Barnett, Gavin Stanley, and Jeff Douglas. Weekly was also named the Columbia Football Association Offensive Player of the Year in 1993 while Barnett, Stanley, Douglas and Brian Flattum were all named First Team All-Conference. The 1993 offense still holds team records at PLU for passing yards (3,829), total yards (6,105), highest scoring average (44.1) and most points (573). This offense is highly regarded as the best offense to ever come through PLU.

Leading the national champion defense was All-American and Columbia Football Association Defensive Player of the Year, Ted Riddall. Riddall was accompanied by fellow All-American's Albert Jackson, Jason Thiel, and Judd Benedick.

Coach Frosty Westering was elected NAIA Division II Coach of the Year in 1993 for his undefeated, national championship season. Westering went on to win four national championships at Pacific Lutheran (1980, 1987, 1993, and 1999) and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2005.[2] He eventually wrote two books, Make The Big Time Where You Are and The Strange Secret of the Big Time that both showcase the philosophies he demonstrated to his teams at PLU and how he lived his life.
