The Aggies were led by first-year head coach Bob Biggs and played their home games at Toomey Field. UC Davis finished the regular season as co-champion of the AWC, with a record of nine wins and one loss (9–1, 3–1 AWC). This was the 24th consecutive year UC Davis finished with a winning record.

At the end of the season, the Aggies qualified for the Division I-AA playoffs. In the first playoff game they defeated Fort Hays State. In the quarterfinal playoff game they were defeated by Texas A&I. That brought their final record to ten wins and two losses (10–2, 3–1 AWC). The Aggies outscored their opponents 460–297 for the season.
