The 1920 Oregon Agricultural Aggies football team represented Oregon Agricultural College (now known as Oregon State University) in the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) during the 1920 college football season. The team played its home games at Bell Field in Corvallis, Oregon. Henry Rearden was the team captain. Gap Powell was the fullback and the offensive star.
In April 1920, R. B. Rutherford was hired as the team's head coach. He had played football at Nebraska and had been the head football coach at Washington University from 1917 to 1919. In their first season under coach Rutherford, the Beavers compiled a 2–2–2 record (1–2–1 against PCC opponents), finished in fifth place in the PCC, and were outscored by their opponents, 52 to 20.
On October 23, 1920, the Aggies defeated Washington, 3–0, for the Aggies' first victory over Washington since 1905. The annual rivalry game with Oregon, played at Corvallis on November 20, 1920, resulted in a scoreless tie. The Aggies also played two games with the Multnomah Athletic Club of Portland, resulting in a win and a tie, and lost games against national champion California (17–7) and Washington State (28-0).
In January 1921, Rutherford was signed to a three-year contract as the school's coach and director of athletics.
