The 1892–93 Colorado Agricultural CACs football team represented Colorado Agricultural College (now known as Colorado State University) in its inaugural season during the 1892–93 academic year, with all games taking place in the early months of 1893. The team compiled a 2–2 record and was outscored by a total of 98 to 54. The team had no coach.[1][2]
On December 12, 1892, a student named F.O. Congdon and 18 of the other 179 students enrolled at Colorado Agricultural College at the time decided to form the school's first American football team and compete with other schools in the area. The team's nickname (that would later be changed to Aggies, then Rams) was the CACs, the school's acronym (Colorado Agricultural College).[3]
