Junior fullback Dave Heide totaled 993 rushing yards in nine regular-season games.[3] Four Cobbers received first-team honors on the 1964 All-MIAC football team selected by the conference coaches: Heide; senior quarterback Bob Nick (praised for his "versatility and amazing football sense"); senior end Paul Brynteson (chosen for his "blocking strength", "pass-catching moves", and "place-kicking toe"); and linebacker Bob Braun (described as "a 200-pound socker").[4]
Concordia had a total enrollment in the fall of 1964 of 1,800 students.[5]
