UW Football Historical Stats & Rosters
March 05, 2020 | Football
Welcome to the UW Football historical statistics archive. In this space, we have endeavored to present a statistical history of Washington football. Over the course of well over a century of the sport at UW, some records are thorough and others are not. What we hope to provide is the best and most thorough stats, rosters, etc., that we can, in a manner that is meant to be easy to find and useful to users.
The University of Washington played what is now recognized as its first football game in 1889 and has fielded a team every season since, other than 1891 and 1918. For what it's worth, there were two games played in 1918 that are sometimes ascribed to UW, but were in fact not official, varsity games. Rather than UW students, some of the players in those games were members of the military stationed on or near the UW campus at that time (during World War I), along with UW students. The Tyee yearbook that covers that time period (see 1918 in the game-by-game recaps below) makes it clear that there were no "varsity" games that year.
All of the below is, by definition, a work in progress. Of course, we'll add to it as seasons come and go, and will also continue to try to provide all of the older data as we find the time to scan, organize and upload the old documents. Suggestions for what else might be included are welcome, as are any additional documents -- even if only cleaner or more legible versions of the ones below.

Prior to 1950, season statistics are non-existent in the UW Athletics archive.
At some point many years ago, a year-by-year record of results, etc., was compiled,
but the information provided was limited. Here are those records, a decade at a time:
1949-1940 | 1939-1930 | 1929-1920 | 1919-1910 | 1909-1900 | 1899-1889
Season-by-Season, Game-by-Game Summaries (PDFs)
These files vary by era. More recently (1998-), they are two-page, statistical summaries
that include the majority of relevant stats and data for each game in each season.
Prior to that (1976-1997), they are narrative- and stat-based summaries that appeared
in the following season's media guide. From 1947 through 1975, we've included the game-by-game
statistics from our archive, in full -- which are admittedly difficult to read in some cases.
The 1899 through 1946 summaries were taken from the Tyee yearbook, while the 1889
through 1898 summaries were from newspaper stories.
