History

Truman's football program dates back to 1900 when the program went 3–2–1.[2] Since their inaugural season, the Bulldogs have claimed 27 conference championships.[3]

College Football Hall of Fame inductee Don Faurot was the head coach from 1926 to 1934. He led the team to a 27-game winning streak that included three consecutive perfect seasons in 1932, 1933, and 1934.[4] The 1936 team compiled another perfect season under the leadership of Faurot's brother, Fred Faurot. The program has not compiled another perfect season since 1936.
