The 1980 Washington Huskies football team was an American football team that represented the University of Washington during the 1980 NCAA Division I-A football season. In its sixth season under head coach Don James, the team compiled a 9–2 record in the regular season and were Pacific-10 Conference champions at 6–1. They returned to the Rose Bowl, but fell to favored Michigan;[1][2][3] for the season Washington outscored its opponents 333 to 198.[4]
Both regular season losses were at home at Husky Stadium. The sole conference loss was to border rival Oregon,[5][6] who last defeated the Huskies in 1973; it was the first loss for James against a Northwest team. In his eighteen games against the Ducks, James lost only three; the other two were in 1987 and 1988. The conference opponents not played this season were California and UCLA. The Huskies' winning streak over Washington State in the Apple Cup reached seven with another win in Spokane;[7][8] it has not been held there since.
Senior quarterback Tom Flick was selected as the team's most valuable player; Flick, Ken Gardner, Rusty Olsen, and Randy Van Divier were the team captains.
