San Francisco State competed in the Northern California Athletic Conference (NCAC). The Gators were led by third-year head coach Dick Mannini. They played home games at Cox Stadium in San Francisco, California. The team finished the season with a record of one win and eight losses (1–8, 0–4 NCAC). For the season the team was outscored by its opponents 212–286.

1994 was the last season for San Francisco State football. This was an effort to comply with a consent decree regarding women's athletics. In essence, the intent was to free up funding for more women's athletes.[1] San Francisco State was the third bay-area team to drop football in three years. Two of the Gators traditional rivals, Santa Clara University (in 1993) and Cal State Hayward (in 1994) had previously dropped their football programs.
