Hi, I will be reviewing this against the GA criteria as part of a GAN sweep. I'll leave some comments soon. JAGUAR 17:38, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Checking against the GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
The infobox image needs a caption Done

""Bo" as a child was known as one to pick fights" - try As a child, Bo was known to pick fights (not sure if "Bo" needs quotation marks) Done

"In McMillin's day of iron man football, he was also a safety man on defense and a kick returner on special teams." - this needs a citation Done

"During his freshman year, McMillin was also on the track team; on April 27, 1917, he won the 220-yard dash at a Centre interscholastic track meet." - this too needs a citation . Hard to find one - the citation seems to be the medal

" the five man backfield and the cockeyed T" - I have no idea what this means! Done That's why they are called negligible. I added an explanatory note. Not sure what was "cockeyed" about it myself.

The second paragraph in the Kansas State section needs a citation Done

Ref 1, 64 and 65 are missing access dates Done
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
No original research found.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

This was an interesting read. The article is well written and comprehensive, so once all of those minor issues are clarified then this should be good to go. JAGUAR 13:14, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again. Any better?

Thanks for addressing them! I've just checked through it again and it meets the criteria, so I'll promote this now
