They had a 6–4 record.[2] Chuck Lambert is the program's current head coach, succeeding his brother Andy, the new coach at Southern Nazarene, Okla.[3] Notable former athletes include actor Clarence Gilyard.[4]

During the 1905 season, the Coleman Company set up temporary gas-powered lighting for a night game against Fairmount College (now called Wichita State University). It was the first night football game played west of the Mississippi River.[5] Fairmount won the game 24–0.[6]
