The 1963 California Golden Bears football team was an American football team that represented the University of California, Berkeley in the Athletic Association of Western Universities (AAWU) during the 1963 NCAA University Division football season. In its fourth year under head coach Marv Levy, the Golden Bears compiled a 4âÂÂ5âÂÂ1 record (1âÂÂ3 in AAWU, fifth) and were outscored 213 to 195. Home games were played on campus at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, California.
California's statistical leaders on offense were junior quarterback Craig Morton with 1,475 passing yards, Tom Blanchfield with 387 rushing yards, and Jack Schraub with 467 receiving yards. Morton was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
The final regular season game (Stanford) was postponed a week following the Assassination of John F. Kennedy.
