In its seventh and final season under head coach Elmer Layden, Duquesne compiled a 10–1 record, outscored opponents by a total of 206 to 33, and defeated the Miami Hurricanes in the Festival of Palms Bowl.[1][2]

Guard George Rado was chosen by the Associated Press (AP) as a first-team player on the 1933 All-Eastern football team.[3] Other key players included tackles Steve Sinko[4] and Armand Niccolai, halfback Howard O'Dell, and Isadore Weinstock.[5]

Layden left Duquesne in December 1933 to become head coach at Notre Dame.
