The team had no nickname in 1919, with the "Aggie" term being introduced in 1922. Led by William E. Bobbitt in his first and only season as head coach, the team compiled a record of 2–5 and was outscored its opponents 109 to 63 for the season. The University Farm played home games in Davis, California. The school did not field a team in 1918 due to World War I.
