The 1922 season remains the only undefeated season in Drake football history. The team's victories included games against Kansas (6â0), Iowa State (14â7), Colorado Agricultural (19â6), and Mississippi A&M (48-6). Of those, Colorado Agricultural (now Colorado State University) was the only one that finished with a winning record (5-2-1).
Starting players on the 1922 Drake team included halfbacks Bill Boelter and Kenneth McLuen, quarterback Sam Orebaugh, center Peterson, guard Denton, and tackle Krueger. Boelter, Orebaugh, Denton, Peterson, and Krueger were selected as first-team players by at least one selector on the 1922 All-Missouri Valley Conference football team.[2][3]
