The 1922 Centenary Gentlemen football team represented the Centenary College of Louisiana during the 1922 college football season. The nine-game schedule was the longest in school history.[1] "A small, obscure liberal arts college with a student body of less than 300 suddenly fields a powerful football team in 1922."[2] The team posted an 8-1 record and was led by head coach Bo McMillin, who preferred to be at a small school.[3]
