The 1927 Idaho Vandals football team represented the University of Idaho in the 1927 college football season. [1] The Vandals were led by second-year head coach Charles F. Erb and were members of the Pacific Coast Conference. Home games were played on campus in Moscow at MacLean Field.

Idaho compiled a 4–1–3 overall record and went undefeated in their four conference games at 2–0–2. They did not play the three California schools ( Stanford, California, and USC) or Washington. ( UCLA joined the conference the following year.)

In the Battle of the Palouse with neighbor Washington State, the Vandals tied 7–7 at Rogers Field in Pullman on Friday, November 11. [2] [3] The Cougars broke the Vandals' three-game winning streak (1923–25) in the rivalry game the previous year.

The only loss was to Gonzaga in the finale; the Bulldogs won 13–0 at Gonzaga Stadium in Spokane on November 26. [4]

Conference co-champions

This season is claimed by Idaho as a co-championship with Stanford and USC, [5] and was supported at the time by the Pacific Coast Conference following its December 1927 meetings in Portland. [6] [7] [8] Stanford gained the Rose Bowl berth and defeated Pittsburgh 7–6 on Monday, January 2. [9] [10] [11] The three co-champions were granted possession of the Schwabacher Trophy for four months each. [7]
