Santa Clara competed in the last year of the Western Football Conference (WFC). The WFC folded in part because of a new NCAA rule that prohibited member institutions who competed at the Division I (D-I) level in other sports to compete at the Division II (D-II) level in football. Rather than move up to D-I for football, the university discontinued the football program after this season. Rival Saint Mary's continued its football program as an NCAA Division I-AA independent for 11 more seasons.
In eight seasons as head coach of the Broncos, Malley compiled a 47–39–1 (.546) record.
