The 1921 Idaho Vandals football team represented the University of Idaho in the 1921 college football season. Idaho was led by second-year head coach Thomas Kelley in their last season as an independent before joining the Pacific Coast Conference.[1][2] The Vandals had two home games in Moscow, one on campus at MacLean Field and another at the fairgrounds;[3] they also played one in Boise at Public School Field.
Idaho dropped a seventh consecutive game to Washington State in the Battle of the Palouse, falling 3–20 at Rogers Field in Pullman.[4] Two years later, the Vandals won the first of three consecutive, their only three-peat in the rivalry series.
The Boise game against Wyoming on the third anniversary of Armistice Day was attended by Governor D. W. Davis.[5]
The following June, Kelley left for the University of Missouri.[2][6] and was succeeded at Idaho in 1922 by Robert "Matty" Mathews.
