A prequel to the 1921 Centre vs. Harvard football game followed; Harvard had not lost a game since 1918[1] and defeated visiting Centre 31–14, finishing with a record of 8–0–1. With the Harvard game tied 7–7, it was 4th down and 6 at the 30-yard line. Instead of punting, McMillin "defied every "don't" in the football book" and tossed a touchdown pass.[2]

A loss at Georgia Tech followed, 24–0; Georgia Tech finished its season 8–1, having outscored its opponents 312–16.[3] One writer recalled he heard a story that Tech tackle Bill Fincher sought to knock Bo McMillin out of the game, taking with him brass-knuckles or "something equally diabolical."[4]

Centre then defeated Шаблон:Cfb link, 34–0, in Indianapolis;Kentucky, 49–0, at Lexington; VPI, 28–0, in Louisville; and the Шаблон:Cfb link, 103–0.
