The 1934 Gonzaga Bulldogs football team was an American football team that represented Gonzaga University during the 1934 college football season. In their fourth year under head coach Mike Pecarovich, the Bulldogs compiled an 8–2–1 record, shut out six of their 11 opponents, and outscored all opponents by a total of 180 to 71. The team's victories included three against Pacific Coast Conference teams. The team's only losses were to Oregon and San Francisco.[1]
