For the first time in 46 years, the Spartans went undefeated, winning the first ever North Coast Athletic Conference title during its inaugural season. Even though they defeated playoff team Washington & Jefferson 34–16 during the regular season,[2] they were not invited to the 8-team 1984 NCAA Division III playoffs. The Spartans were led by two-time All-American quarterback Fred DiSanto and defensively by three-time All-American Ron Stepanovic.

The team won the inaugural Baird Brothers Trophy rivalry game, defeating the Wooster Fighting Scots 21–14.
