Notes

  1. ^ Azusa College existed from 1956 to 1964. It merged with Los Angeles Pacific College in 1965 to become Azusa Pacific University. Azusa Pacific's official football records do not include the history from either of the predecessor schools.
  2. ^ cfbdatawarehouse.com incorrectly lists an additional 1959 game, against Antelope Valley College. This was played by Riverside Junior College, not UC Riverside, and is therefore not included here.
