Coach Don James & his top-ranked Washington Huskies at 7-0 hosted the Arizona Wildcats of coach Larry Smith who stood 4-3. Washington's RB Jacque Robinson rushed for 3 touchdowns in a game played in a downpour that was marred by 19 turnovers, 10 by Arizona & 9 by Washington, but the Huskies claimed an ugly 28-12 victory to retain The Belt. Neither team could get any offensive production in the 1st half but Arizona's S Lynnden Brown intercepted Washington's QB Hugh Millen & returned the pick 89 yards with just 0:23 left in the half giving the Wildcats a 6-0 lead. Millen’s was benched for the 2nd half after he threw 3 interceptions & fumbled twice in the 1st half. Washington's LB Joe Kelly intercepted Arizona's QB Alfred Jenkins midway through the 3rd quarter to set-up a 2-yard touchdown run by Robinson as the Huskies took a 7-6 lead with 7:50 left in the 3rd quarter. On the next drive, Washington's DT Steve Alvord recovered a fumble by Jenkins & returned it 22 yards for another Husky touchdown. In the 4th quarter, Robinson scored on runs of 4 & 50 yards giving Washington a 28-6 advantage. Arizona’s other touchdown also came on a Washington mistake as Arizona's LB Byron Evans recovered a fumbled snap in the end zone for the final points of the game. Robinson finished with 119 yards rushing with his 3 scores while Millen threw for 51 yards with his 3 interceptions & 2 fumbles. For the Wildcats, Jenkins threw for 92 yards with 5 interceptions & 2 fumbles while back-up QB John Conner threw for 11 yards with an interception in the loss. Washington finished the season 11-1; ranked 2nd nationally while the Wildcats finished 7-4. Arizona would play for The Belt again in 1985.
