Kuhn was the starting quarterback for a second consecutive undefeated season in 1922, when Vanderbilt had an  8–0–1 record.
He started all but one game at quarterback, including a scoreless tie with Michigan in the inaugural game at Dudley Field.
Vanderbilt held the tie with a goal-line stand, and the result was called "a great surprise to the sporting world"; Commodore fans celebrated by throwing seat cushions onto the field.

After the next game, a 20–10 Commodore victory against Texas at the Texas State Fair, Kuhn's running game and leadership were praised.
In a 14–6 win against Tennessee, Kuhn caught a 31-yard (28 m) pass from Jess Neely for a touchdown.
He returned a kick for 44 yards (40 m) against Kentucky, tackled by the last man before the end zone, but the half ended before the Commodores could score.
The Athens Banner described the team's arrival for a game with Georgia: "The Commodores arrived here at one o'clock Friday afternoon, and were whisked directly to the Georgian Hotel.
Curious hundreds of Bulldog supporters shuddered at the procession of Vandy giants as they strolled down the sidewalks, led by Huge Tot McCullough, with spry Froggy Miers and clever Doc Kuhn bringing up the rear."
Kuhn dropped back, throwing Lynn Bomar a 40-plus-yard pass for Vanderbilt's second touchdown in its 12–0 victory over Georgia at Sanford Field.

He finished the season against Sewanee on Thanksgiving Day.
In the first quarter, a trick play caught Sewanee off guard.
On the previous play, Kuhn ran six yards out of bounds.
Then, on a fake run, he threw a pass to Bomar, who was alone behind the defense and ran the rest of the way for a touchdown.
Kuhn featured in a second-quarter scoring drive, completing a 10-yard pass to Scotty Neill inside the five-yard line and faking his way through the line for a touchdown.
The Commodores won, 26–0; Kuhn was selected as an All-American by Billy Evans and received an honorable mention on Walter Camp's team.
Kuhn and Centre's Flash Covington were the two quarterbacks from Evans' All-Southern team to receive Camp's mention.
At the December 5, 1922 Vanderbilt football banquet, he was elected Commodore captain for the following season.
