They played home games at Spartan Stadium in San Jose, California. The Spartans finished the 1984 season with a record of five wins and six losses (6–5, 5–2 PCAA).
After the season was over, it was discovered that the UNLV Rebels had used multiple ineligible players during both the 1983 and 1984 season. As a result, San Jose State's loss at UNLV turns into a forfeit win and their record is adjusted to 7–4, 6–1 PCAA.
