• Source: 1941 Santa Barbara State Gauchos football team

    • The 1941 UC Santa Barbara Gauchos football team was an American football team that represented Santa Barbara State College (now known as the University of California, Santa Barbara) as a member of the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) during the 1941 college football season. In their first year under head coach Stan Williamson, the Gauchos compiled a 3–5–1 record (1–2 against CCAA opponents). The team played home games at La Playa Stadium in Santa Barbara, California.
    Halfback/fullback Ernie Saenz was the team captain. Other key players included halfbacks Owen Van Buskirk and Hovis Bess, quarterback George James, fullback/guard Paul Siano, and centers Walt Ahlgren and Frankie Jones.
    A tenth game, scheduled for October 18 against the University of California Ramblers, was cancelled after the team physician found that nine of Santa Barbara's 24 players were unfit to play.
    Santa Barabara was ranked at No. 273 (out of 681 teams) in the final rankings under the Litkenhous Difference by Score System.
    Due to World War II, this was the last year of competition for Santa Barbara until 1946.
