Led by fifth-year head coach Bruce Craddock, the Leathernecks compiled an overall record of 7–4, with a mark of 5–1 in conference play, and finished second in the GCAC. The Leathernecks came within one loss, to Northern iowa, of winning the conference championship and making the national playoffs. The Leathernecks lost on a last second field goal to nationally ranked Division 1 Fresno State. Senior linebacker Marty Lomalino led the team in tackles and was named an All-American. Third year starter junior quarterback Paul Singer led the Leathernecks in passing for the third consecutive year, and broke the Leatherneck records for passing yards, touchdown passes, and total offense in a season.
