$ – Conference champion First Humboldt State vs. Western Oregon game (Oct. 13) did not count as a conference game Rankings from AFCA Poll

The 2001 Lumberjacks were led by second-year head coach Doug Adkins. They played home games at the Redwood Bowl in Arcata, California. Humboldt State finished the season with a record of four wins and seven losses (4–7, 1–2 GNAC). The Lumberjacks were outscored by their opponents 267–405 for the 2001 season.

Because of the terrorist attacks on September 11, many college football game were rescheduled. As a result, a hole in the Lumberjacks schedule was created. To fill that, a game was added against conference foe Western Oregon was added on October 13, but it did not count as a conference game.[1]
