The 1934 Colorado Buffaloes football team was an American football team that represented the University of Colorado as a member of the Rocky Mountain Conference (RMC) during the 1934 college football season. In its third and final year under head coach Bill Saunders, the team compiled a 6–1–2 record (6–1 against RMC opponents), finished in a three-way tie for the conference championship, and outscored all opponents by a total of 167 to 40.[1][2]

Quarterback Kayo Lam led the team with 906 rushing yards and 8.24 yards per rush.[3] On October 27, 1934, Lam rushed for 232 yards against Colorado Agricultural, a total that remained a school record for 20 years.[4] He also had a 91-yard run against BYU that also remained a school record until 1954.[5]

In November 1934, the school adopted the nickname "Buffaloes" for its football team. The name was selected as part of a contest conducted by the school's student newspaper. Andrew J. Dickson was credited with submitting the winning name.[6]
