The 1916 Idaho football team represented the University of Idaho in the 1916 college football season. Idaho was led by first-year head coach Wilfred C. Bleamaster and played as an independent; they joined the Pacific Coast Conference six years later in 1922.[1][2] Idaho had three home games in Moscow on campus at MacLean Field, with none in Boise.
Idaho dropped a third consecutive shutout to Washington State in the Battle of the Palouse, falling 0–31 at Rogers Field in Pullman. Seven years later, the Vandals won the first of three consecutive, their only three-peat in the rivalry series.
Idaho opened with five losses, then won three road games in six days for a 3–5 record.
