The 1932 BYU Cougars football team was an American football team that represented Brigham Young University (BYU) as a member of the Rocky Mountain Conference (RMC) during the 1932 college football season. In their fifth season under head coach G. Ott Romney, the Cougars compiled an overall record of 8–1 with a mark of 5–1 against conference opponents, finished second in the RMC, and outscored opponents by a total of 188 to 50. The team's only loss was to rival Utah.[1][2]
