The 1916 team lost only one game all season, and it was a surprising loss to Illinois which cost the Gophers a share of the conference title.

End Bert Baston and quarterback Shorty Long were named All-Americans by the Associated Press. Baston was also named an All-American by the Walter Camp Football Foundation. Baston, guard Conrad Eklund tackle Frank Mayer and fullback Arnold "Pudge" Wyman were named All-Big Ten first team.
