The 1934 Idaho Vandals football team represented the University of Idaho in the 1934 college football season . The Vandals were led by sixth-year head coach Leo Calland , and were members of the Pacific Coast Conference . Home games were played on campus in Moscow at MacLean Field , with none in Boise this year.
Idaho compiled a 3–5 overall record and lost all but one of its five games in the PCC.
In the Battle of the Palouse with neighbor Washington State , the Vandals suffered a seventh straight loss, falling 0–19 in Pullman on November 10.[ 1] [ 2] Idaho's most recent win in the series was nine years earlier in 1925 and the next was twenty years away in 1954 .
Calland resigned after the season in mid-December; he compiled a 21–30 (.412) record in six seasons on the Palouse , but his overmatched Vandals were just 5–25 (.167) in conference play, defeating only Montana .[ 3] [ 4] [ 5] He returned to southern California and coached at San Diego State College ; his successor at Idaho was Ted Bank , the backs coach at Tulane of New Orleans , 10–1 in 1934 and Sugar Bowl champions.[ 6] [ 7]
