The 1916 New Hampshire football team was an American football team that represented New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts during the 1916 college football season—the school became the University of New Hampshire in 1923. Under second-year head coach Butch Cowell, the team finished with a record of 3–5–2.

Schedule

During this era, teams played in the one-platoon system. Scoring values were consistent with the present day: six points for a touchdown, one point for a conversion kick (extra point), and three points for a field goal.

Notes

  1. The school did not adopt the Wildcats nickname until February 1926; before then, they were generally referred to as "the blue and white".
  2. The school was often referred to as New Hampshire College or New Hampshire State College in newspapers of the era.
  3. For additional detail, see Early history of American football#Scoring table.
  4. College Football Data Warehouse lists the score as 25–0, but New Hampshire's media guide and a game recap in The New Hampshire both state 26–0.
