2021 Illinois vs. Penn State football game

• ... that the 2021 Illinois vs. Penn State football game was the first in NCAA history to reach nine overtimes? Source: Illinois stuns No. 7 Penn State 20-18 in NCAA’s 1st 9OT game

• Comments: I am going to continue to expand this article (game summary prose, aftermath section, etc.), hopefully to the point of a GA nomination, but I wanted to go ahead and nominate for DYK now.

• Follow-up comment: I have completed the expansion and the article is currently listed as a GA nominee.

• Reviewing now...

General eligibility:

• New enough:
• Long enough:
• Other problems:

Hook eligibility:

• Cited:
• Interesting:
• Other problems: - There is a citation within the article that confirmed its truthiness, though the actual fact doesn't seem to appear in the body of the article. I understand this is probably for flow reasons (the article does state that this is the first game to reach 8OT, so it might be strange to also say it was the first to reach 9OT). Minor thing I think, but wanted to flag it. Fixed, see below

Overall: A very good article with a very interesting fact to boot. I think the body of the article needs to be more explicit about the 9OT fact though (it's in the lede but not in the body, where it instead talks about 8OT), and you haven't yet done your QPQ, but other than that I think it's good to go. Nice job. Looks ready! — 🦊 09:06, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

@

Fox: thanks for the review! Good catch - I agree with your rationale and I've added the fact from the hook/lead directly into the body as well. QPQ has been done and noted above. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs

@PCN02WPS: In that case it looks good to go! — 🦊 16:19, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
