... that football player Johnny Buchanan said that, while running for touchdowns without being touched was fun, "something about running through somebody's face is unmatched"? Source: Asbury Park Press ("That was the same philosophy deployed by current University of Delaware junior All-Conference middle linebacker Johnny Buchanan, who also lined up at running back when he played at St. John Vianney. 'When I played running back, some of the most fun plays were making a quick move and going 70-yards untouched - but something about running through somebody’s face is unmatched,'")

New enough - just - and long enough. No neutrality problems found, no copyright problems found, no maintenance templates found. QPQ done. I have absolutely no idea what that hook is trying to tell me though.--Laun chba ller 22:07, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- The hook is trying to say that Buchanan likes running into peoples' faces more than he does scoring touchdowns. I find the hook understandable - is there another wording you think would make it better? BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:59, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Never mind, I didn't see the phrase "without being touched" and then it all clicked into place. Good to go.--Laun chba ller 13:47, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
