With victories over Purdue and Indiana, Notre Dame was declared to be the Indiana state champion.[3] Only four of the games played were deemed "championship games": Northwestern, Beloit, Indiana, and Purdue.[4]

Fullback Louis J. Salmon starred on the 1901 team. At a post-season meeting on November 29, 1901, Salmon was unanimously elected as captain of the 1902 Notre Dame football team.[4] At the same meeting, varsity letters were presented to 14 players for their participation on the 1901 team: Lonergan, Lins and Nyere, ends; Faragher and Fortin, tackles; Gillen, Winters, Piele, O'Malley, guards; Pick, center; Henry J. McGlew, quarterback; Doran and Kirby, halfbacks; and Salmon, fullback.[4]
