1919 University Farm football team
The 1919 University Farm football team represented the University Farm—now known as the University of California, Davis—as an independent during the 1919 college football season. Although "University Farm" was the formal name for the school and team, in many newspaper articles from the time it was called "Davis Farm". The team had no nickname in 1919, with the "Aggie" term being introduced in 1922. Led by William E. Bobbitt in his first and only season as head coach, the team compiled a record of 2–5 and was outscored its opponents 109 to 63 for the season. The University Farm played home games in Davis, California.
