The 1922 Coe Kohawks football team represented

Millikin.[1][2] The team held every opponent to seven or fewer points, including a 24–0 shutout against Iowa State
, and outscored all opponents by a total of 136 to 20.

Halfback George Collins was the team's leading scorer with seven touchdowns for 42 points. Makeever ranked second with 31 points on three touchdowns, two field goals, and seven extra-point kicks.[3] Collins sustained a fractured jaw in the second quarter of the final game of the season against Cornell, played the entire second half with the injury, and led the team to a comeback victory. Collins was hailed in The Coe College Cosmos as "the greatest half-back who ever wore a Crimson uniform."[4]

The team played home games at Coe Field in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

The "Kohawks" fight name was adopted by Coe during the 1922 season after it was suggested by Professor C. W. Perkins. The team had previously been called the "Crimson" and the "Warriors".[5]
