On the field, the Aggies finished the season with a record of six wins, three losses and one tie (6–3–1, 5–0 FWC ). With the 5–0 conference record, they stretched their conference winning streak to 33 games dating back to the 1973 season. The Aggies outscored their opponents 217–155 for the 1979 season. It was later determined that Cal Poly Pomona had used ineligible players during the season so they were required to forfeit all of their victories.
