Embark on a journey to the gridiron's humble beginnings with BYU football's inaugural 1922 season. This episode chronicles the birth of a program, marked by both historic firsts and challenging losses, as Alvin Twitchell laid the foundation for BYU's football legacy.

We delve into the story of Alvin Twitchell, the pioneering coach who took on the daunting task of building BYU's football program from the ground up. Discover the challenges he faced, from assembling a team to navigating the landscape of early college football.

Relive the excitement of BYU's first-ever victory and the thrill of the program's first touchdown, scored on a pass from Paul Packard to Hunter Manson. We'll also highlight Boney Fuller's role as the team's first signal-caller.

While the 1922 season presented its share of struggles, it also laid the groundwork for future success. We'll explore the significance of this season in shaping the program's identity and fostering a sense of resilience that would become a hallmark of BYU football. We also take note of the first All-Conference citation.

This episode is a tribute to the players and coaches who paved the way for a century of BYU football. Join us as we celebrate the program's roots and honor the individuals who embarked on this gridiron journey in 1922.
