Early life and high school

edit
  • Add Campbell's birth date into this section

  Done

  • Remove the second mention of Barry Switzer being the Oklahoma Sooners head coach and dewikilink that mention since he is mentioned shortly before that particular sentence.

  Done

College career

edit
  • "In 1975 he" - missing a comma

  Done

  • Spell out AFCA in full

  Done

  • "Leg injuries kept him out of four games his junior season," - Leg injuries kept him out of four games during his junior season,

  Done

  • "against Rice" - I think against the Rice Owls is better

  Done

  • "in a 57–28 victory over rival Texas A&M as Texas finished the season undefeated." - With the second mention of Texas, do you mean the Longhorns?

  Done Yes, clarified

  • "He also won the Chic Harley Award and was a unanimous All-American," - All-American player?

That's the common terminology, so I think it's better as is. Although I just noticed I forgot to cite that, so cited now.

Houston Oilers

edit
  • Most Valuable Player should have the acronyms in parentheses on its first mention

  Done

  • "cut short due to wear and tear." - I think wear and tear should be replace with more formal wording

  Done Removed it altogether. I thought the same when I wrote it, but couldn't think of anything better. The source uses "too much pounding" which probably isn't any better.

  • The last section of the fourth paragraph is unreferenced

  Done

  • "In 1984, under new head coach Hugh Campbell, Houston started the season with six straight losses." - ditto

 Y Diddo

  • "He had four games of over 200 rushing yards, a single-season record that still stands as of the end of the 2015 season." - Is this still the case as of 2016?

The 2016 season hasn't started yet, so yes, it remains true.

New Orelans Saints

edit
  • Remove duplicate link of Bum Phillips

  Done

  • "and continued to have a diminished role in the offense through the rest of the season." - throughout

  Done

  • The last section of the first paragraph has no references

  Done

Legacy and honors

edit
  • Remove duplicate links of O. J. Simpson, The Sporting News and Tyler, Texas

  Done

References

edit
