• ... that the national champion 1973 Abilene Christian Wildcats football team featured a freshman running back who broke college football's single-season scoring record? Source: National championship is supported by this (Abilene Christian "completely outclassed the [NAIA] No. 1-ranked team in taking the NAIA's 1973 national title."). The freshman running back is Wilbert Montgomery and his breaking the scoring record is supported by this ("He smashed the NCAA and NAIA one-season scoring records ...")

QPQ: - not yet completed
Overall: Article is new and long enough, and is impressively sourced. Earwig didn't really apply since most of the sources are newspaper clippings but the spot checks I did looked good. Hook is interested and citations are used in the article. The only question I have here is whether the hook fact (which is included in the lead) should be more explicitly repeated in the body of the article; the article mentions that his records included "37 [touchdowns] including post-season games", but a more explicit mention of his 222 total points and the "college football scoring record". Other than that, I don't see any issues. QPQ is needed. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 17:58, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

QPQ now complete. I've updated the "Records and awards" to more explicitly address your point. Cbl62 (talk) 12:18, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
