Idaho compiled a 3–7 overall record and lost all four games in the PCC.

In the Battle of the Palouse with neighbor Washington State, the Vandals suffered a ninth straight loss, falling 0–14 at homecoming in Moscow on October 10.[1] Idaho's most recent win in the series was eleven years earlier in 1925 and the next was eighteen years away in 1954.

Future coaches among the Vandal players included sophomores Tony Knap, Lyle Smith, and Steve Belko. Future athletic director Leon Green, grandfather of UI president Scott Green, played right end and was a team captain.[1][2]

This was the final season for varsity football at MacLean Field and its final game on November 21 was a Vandal win;[3] grading began on the new stadium site to the west in late summer 1936, and it opened the following season as Neale Stadium.
