Hello! I was surprised to see this article pop up as a good article nominee so swiftly after it concluded, and see that you've been doing a lot of great work getting bowl game articles nominated and passed as good articles. I have had a long-stagnant project to build a featured topic around the UConn bowl games, and previously brought 2009 International Bowl and 2010 PapaJohns.com Bowl to FA and List of UConn Huskies bowl games to FL. I'll be using those articles as a baseline for formatting and comprehensiveness when evaluating this article, recognizing that the GA criteria doesn't quite require the same level of comprehensiveness that the FA criteria does. However, if it is possible to push this article along to FAC, I'm more than happy to be of as much assistance as possible.

I am still working on going through the article and will leave thoughts and issues below as I find them. –Grondemar 20:57, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Lead: I rewrote the first paragraph; let me know what you think. The second paragraph, on the gameplay itself, could use to be tightened up so that it doesn't duplicate the later play-by-play too much; I'll take a look at that next. On previous articles there were also lead paragraphs on Team Selection (briefly covered in the article) and Pre-Game Coverage (not discussed at all), and on the game MVP (briefly mentioned), some summary statistics, and a little on the game aftermath (probably too soon to have much to report).
  • Teams: Why was UConn selected even though they didn't have a bowl tie-in? (I'd suggest discussing that there were more bowl game slots than eligible teams and something about 5–7 Rice and waivered New Mexico State also getting in.)
  • Marshall: Did the team perform to expectations? What were the expectations going into the season.
    • No. 8 Notre Dame: what is the source of the No. 8 ranking? AP, Coaches' Poll, Harris, CFP rankings? On my two FAs I decided to use AP exclusively and used a note to explain that.
  • UConn: We would want to mention that UConn had previously won 4 games in 5 years before winning 6 in 2022, and how surprising this result was. Also, Liberty was ranked; this should be mentioned if Notre Dame's ranking was mentioned earlier.

Will continue reviewing later. –Grondemar 20:57, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of comments on sources:

  • Do you have a major preference either way on list-defined references? I find them much easier to work with when tracking references throughout an article.
  • What makes Statbroadcast a reliable source?

@Grondemar: Hi and thank you for the review! I am doing some traveling at the moment so I can't guarantee that I will get to this super quickly. I do appreciate your recommendations and I will get to addressing them as soon as I can, if that's alright with you. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 20:44, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
