~~I'll review this shortly. Kaiser matias (talk) 15:59, 3 June 2023 (UTC)~~[reply]

I feel the two schools names should be spelled out in the lead, rather than using the abbreviations.
- Added full school names to lead.
"Their game against the Bruins on November 11 was especially noteworthy, as it attracted a crowd of about 50,000 people at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to watch the Mustangs' spread offense lead them to a 21–0 victory over the local team." Is the 50,000 attendance high or low for this type of game? Best to note something to quantity that (it was the highest attendance for UCLA in so long, record for the season, etc).
- I could not find any information from the source material indicating the significance of either the attendance or the score, so I have edited the sentence.
Any reason North Texas State Teachers Eagles does not link to North Texas Mean Green football?
- Added link to North Texas Mean Green football.
The captions for the Rose and Sugar Bowl (in the "Afermath" section) should specify what stadium is what (ex. Rose Bowl (left; pictured 1926) and so on).
- Added directions to images.

Otherwise I don't see much else to note here. More images would of course be nice, but I do understand that can be limited. A really high-quality article here, and will be happy to pass once the above are addressed. Kaiser matias (talk) 23:50, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I've put the article on hold, and while I know that notes seven days to complete things, I am not going to fail if you need more time, as I understand people can be busy. Kaiser matias (talk) 23:51, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for starting this review, and if you have any further questions, comments, or concerns, please reach out. -JJonahJackalope (talk) 17:20, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@JJonahJackalope: It's been a month since the above review and there's been no response. Are you still planning on continuing this nomination? I agree with the reviewer that the hook isn't great and the nomination needs a new one. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:01, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @JJonahJackalope, Onegreatjoke, and Narutolovehinata5: I thought of a hook that might work. Thoughts?
  - ... that the 1935 SMU vs. TCU football game, known as the "Game of the Century," was the first football game in Texas ever to be broadcast nationally?

Going to wait for OGJ's opinion. It's not an amazing hook but I think it's better than the original. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 16:18, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's definitely a much better hook. Onegreatjoke (talk) 17:48, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11, Onegreatjoke, and Narutolovehinata5: Apologies for the late response, but the new hook definitely looks better than the original in my opinion, thank you for adding it! -JJonahJackalope (talk) 19:25, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
