Rankings from AP Poll

The 1974 Western Michigan Broncos football team represented Western Michigan University in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) during the 1974 NCAA Division I football season. In their 11th season under head coach Bill Doolittle, the Broncos compiled a 3–8 record (0–5 against MAC opponents), finished in sixth place in the MAC, and were outscored by their opponents, 269 to 187.[1][2][3] The team played its home games at Waldo Stadium in Kalamazoo, Michigan.[4]

The team's statistical leaders included Paul Jorgensen with 701 passing yards, Dan Matthews with 769 rushing yards, and Greg Cowser with 403 receiving yards.[5] Tight end Greg Crowser and quarterback Paul Jorgensen were the team captains.[6] Halfback Dan Matthews received the team's most outstanding player award.[7]

On November 18, 1974, after "mounting pressure" for a change in the school's football coach, Doolittle resigned. In 11 years as head coach, Doolittle compiled a 58–49–2 record at Western Michigan.[8]
