The 1906 Detroit College Tigers football team was an American football team that represented Detroit College (renamed the University of Detroit in 1911) as an independent during the 1906 college football season. In its second season under head coach Edward J. Ryan, the team compiled a 4–2–1 record and outscored its opponents by a combined total of 52 to 21.^[1]
