   Pass/Fail:

Early life and high school

• 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

• "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

• 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

• 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

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

 Done

References

• no dead links

On hold until the above points have been actioned. MWright96 (talk) 18:50, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
