The article is full of weasel words, and the writing does not hold the appropriate tone. For example: "Oklahoma was the designated home team and was favored by 7½ points, but in a classic battle, the Broncos won in overtime, 43-42" should be "Oklahoma was the designated home team and was favored by 7½ points, but the Broncos won in overtime, 43-42"
The majority of the third sentence is not needed. Just tell us relevant facts- we don't need to know everything about the Fiesta Bowl to find out who is playing. We have Fiesta Bowl for that.
The lead is too short. See WP:LEAD.
Avoid phrases like "many felt" and "some say". These are weasel words again.
Try to write it more like an encyclopedia article and less like a news feature.
Does the new stadium needs its own section?
"Game legacy" should be replaced with "Game summary." It should really be shorted- it's not supposed to be a full play-by-play
Rename the section "OT" to "Overtime". Non-sports fans may not understand what's going on.
Get rid of personal commentary like "She seemed surprised, but enthusiastically accepted". Just say she accepted.
Remove most of the "Instant classic" section. This is speculation and opinion, which is not allowed
"Final game facts" is not necessary. Redundant material should be removed, and other material should be merged into the rest of the article.
The "Reaction" section has too many quotes. Try and summarize opinions.
