The top-ranked, 9-0 Washington Huskies & coach Don James traveled to Los Angeles to match-up with coach Ted Tollner’s 14^th ranked, 7-1 Southern Cal Trojans.  Southern Cal's All-Pac 10 RB Fred Crutcher rushed for 116 yards with a touchdown, PK Steve Jordan connected on 3 long field goals, & a strong defense featuring All-American LB Jack Del Rio & Pac 10 Defensive MVP LB Duane Bickett held the Huskies to 85 yards rushing in a 16-7 Trojans' upset.  Jordan hit a 51-yard field goal for the only points of the 1^st quarter & his 47-yard field goal in the 2^nd quarter pushed the Southern Cal lead to 6-0.  The Huskies took the lead shortly before halftime when RB Jacque Robinson scored on a 4-yard touchdown run for the 7-6 advantage.  The scoring drive was only 38 yards & came after Trojans' P Troy Richardson's 33-yard punt.  Crutcher’s touchdown came early in the 4^th quarter on a 2-yard touchdown run that capped a 68-yard drive.  Jordan’s 46-yard field goal with just over 9:00 to play capped the scoring.  Southern Cal's QB Tim Green threw for 161 yards.  Washington's QB Paul Sicuro threw for 190 yards with a touchdown & WR Danny Greene had 7 catches for 100 yards in the losing effort.  The Washington defense came into the game having forced 45 turnovers, an average of 5 per game, but came up with just 1 interception against the Trojans.  The Huskies finished the season 11-1; ranked 2^nd nationally while the Trojans finished 9-3, Pac-10 Champions & ranked 10^th nationally.  Washington would play for The Belt again in 1985.
