Coach Joe Kapp brought his undermanned California Golden Bears with a record of 2-6 to Seattle to meet the top-ranked, 8-0 Washington Huskies & coach Don James.  The Huskies literally ran over the Golden Bears as RB Jacque Robinson rushed for 3 touchdowns while new starting QB Paul Sicuro threw for 3 touchdowns in a 44-14 win over California.  Sicuro took over the starting quarterback position after previous starter QB Hugh Millen had problems moving the offense in the 4 previous games.  Sicuro started the 2^nd half of the Arizona game & rallied the Huskies for four 2^nd half touchdowns in the Washington win.  The Golden Bears were first on the scoreboard when PK Tom Gandsey hit a 46-yard field goal but the Huskies' offense took over from there.  Sicuro hit WR Danny Greene for an 8-yard touchdown pass before hitting Robinson with a screen pass which the running back took 48 yards for another score.  The Huskies finished the 1^st quarter scoring with Robinson carrying in on a 5-yard run giving Washington a 20-3 lead at the end of the quarter.  Washington's PK Jeff Jaeger hit a 33-yard field goal before Robinson scored his second touchdown, this one on a 12-yard run, giving the Huskies a 30-3 lead.  Gandsey’s 40-yard field goal closed the 1^st half scoring but California trailed 30-6.  The Golden Bears got the only points of the 3^rd quarter on a 1-yard touchdown run by RB Mark Funderburk but even with the successful 2-point conversion, California still trailed 30-14 through three quarters.  Instead of a Golden Bears' rally, the 4^th quarter saw the Huskies secure the win with a 12-yard touchdown pass from Sicuro to WR Mark Pattison & a 66-yard touchdown run by RB Ron Jackson.  Sicuro finished with 117 yards passing with 3 touchdowns, Robinson added 152 yards rushing to his 3 scores, & Jackson rushed for 119 yards with his touchdown.  California's QB Gale Gilbert threw for 119 yards in the loss.  Washington finished the season 11-1; ranked 2^nd nationally while the Golden Bears finished 2-9.  California would play for The Belt again in 1985.
