The 1893–94 Oregon football team represented the University of Oregon in the winter and spring following the 1893 college football season.[1][2] In the Oregon football teams's first season, they played a single game, a 44–2 win vs. Albany College.
Students from the University of Oregon attended the game between Stanford and Multnomah on New Year's Day, 1894, at Multnomah Field in Portland.[1] After the game they determined to field a team for the university. Unwilling to wait until the 1894 season in the fall, the students set about practicing in the winter and scheduled a game vs. Albany College.

Although they set about the task in 1893 the first game was not played until March 24, 1894, which has caused considerable controversy as to which was the first team. [...] the editor asked for an explanation as to why the difference between this 1894 team and the first one. The difference is: there were in reality two teams, yet each an 1894 one.
