1984 Long Beach State 49ers football team


The 1984 Long Beach State 49ers football team represented California State University, Long Beach during the 1984 NCAA Division I-A football season.
Cal State Long Beach competed in the Pacific Coast Athletic Association. The team was led by first-year head coach Mike Sheppard, and played home games at Veterans Stadium adjacent to the campus of Long Beach City College in Long Beach, California. On the field, they finished the season with a record of four wins and seven losses.
After the season was over, it was discovered that the UNLV Rebels had used multiple ineligible players during both the 1983 and 1984 season. As a result, Long Beach's loss to UNLV turns into a forfeit win and their record is adjusted to 5–6, 4–3 PCAA.
