The 1984 Stanford Cardinal football team represented Stanford University in the Pacific-10 Conference (Pac-10) during the 1984 NCAA Division I-A football season. In their first season under head coach Jack Elway, the Cardinal compiled a 5–6 record (3–5 in Pac-10, tied for seventh), and played home games on campus at Stanford Stadium in Stanford, California.
Elway was hired the previous December from nearby San Jose State, where he went 35–20–1 (.634) in five seasons.[1][2] His Spartans had defeated Stanford the previous three years, the first two while his son John Elway was the Cardinal quarterback.[3][4][5] Now on the other side, Coach Elway won the South Bay matchup again this season, as Stanford rallied to win by a point to snap the streak.[6]
