Dorais' 1922 lineup included back Hust Stockton and end Ray Flaherty.[1] Flaherty later played ten years in the National Football League (NFL) and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Stockton played five years in the NFL and is the grandfather of NBA great John Stockton.

The new Gonzaga Stadium opened this season;[2][3][4] the first game was against Washington State on October 14, won by the Cougars with a late field goal, 10–7. After the opening loss, Gonzaga was undefeated in the next ten games at the stadium, with eight wins and two ties.[4]

This year marked the only bowl appearance for the Gonzaga football program,[1] the San Diego East-West Christmas Classic, where they fell, 21–13, to favored West Virginia on Christmas Day.
