The Commodores' defense was unrivaled in the South, leading the nation in scoring by giving up just 1.8 points per game, none of them at home.In what was immediately dubbed one of the best seasons in Vanderbilt and Southern football history, the Commodores' first year in the newly formed Southern Conference saw them tie with North Carolina and Georgia Tech for the conference championship. This was Vanderbilt's second year in a row atop its conference, having tied with Georgia, Centre, and Georgia Tech for the SIAA title in 1921.

The season included a tie with Michigan at the dedication of the new Dudley Field, the first stadium in the South to be used exclusively for college football.Several Vanderbilt players received post-season honors. Walter Camp selected Lynn Bomar for his All-America team, a rarity for a player in the South. Walter Eckersall and Frank G. Menke also gave Bomar All-America honors. Bomar was a unanimous All-Southern selection, receiving votes at both end and tackle. Camp gave honorable mention to end and punter Scotty Neill, quarterback Doc Kuhn and halfback Jess Neely. Bomar and Kuhn also appear on Billy Evans \"National Honor Roll\". Bomar, Neill, Kuhn, and three other Commodores were selected for Billy Evans' \"Southern Honor Roll.\" Neely was one of Vanderbilt's greatest ever team captains and was also the team's best passer. Neely to Bomar is considered among the best pass-receiver tandems in Vanderbilt history."@en }
