Just got a couple quick things:

Is there a citation that could be added for Powers being recruited by both OSU and Michigan?Y--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM)  14:36, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
"As a sophomore, he started 11 of 12 games and was named to the All-Big Ten Conference team.[5] Although that was the only year he led the team in rushing with 1251 yards, he still had a complementary role that year as he shared the spotlight with Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard." <-- I'm confused. If he led the team in rushing, is it really a complimentary role, or was this a different year?
The term complementary role probably falls under POV or OR.  The team media campaign was geared toward getting Howard the Heisman.  Its offense was probably slightly adjusted toward that end as well.  I rephrased.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM)  14:39, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
A basic WP:MOS look over could certainly be done, as I see a few things that could be tweaked. Have a copyeditor look it over. Y--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM)  15:20, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
The college section doesn't flow all that well, could be tuned up a bit.Y--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM)  14:50, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
The article's not quite there yet, if you follow these suggestion I should be able to pass it. Wizardman 03:00, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
Alright, I think it's just past the threshold for GA, so I'm going to pass this. Nice work. Wizardman 16:31, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
