    The 1984 Washington State Cougars football team was an American football team that represented Washington State University in the Pacific-10 Conference (Pac-10) during the 1984 NCAA Division I-A football season. In their seventh season under head coach Jim Walden, the Cougars compiled a 6–5 record (4–3 in Pac-10, fifth), and were outscored 319 to 317.[1][2]

    The team's statistical leaders included Mark Rypien with 1,927 passing yards, Rueben Mayes with 1,637 rushing yards, and John Marshall with 534 receiving yards.[3] In late October, Mayes rushed for 357 yards at Oregon to set an NCAA record.[4]

    With a change in the academic calendar,[5] classes now started at WSU a month earlier, in late August. All home games were played on campus at Martin Stadium, with none at Joe Albi StadiuminSpokane.[6][7]
