Infobox and lede

• "The seventh edition of the Bahamas Bowl (after the 2020 edition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic)," → "The seventh annual Bahamas Bowl, as well as the first to take place after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the 2020 game,"
  •  Done – changed to "the cancellation of the 2020 edition" to avoid repetition with the part of the sentence that follows. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 17:40, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
• The cancellation of the 2020 game is also neither mentioned in the body nor referenced in the lede, so one of those facts should be corrected
  •  Done – added 2020 cancellation to the "Teams" section. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 17:40, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
• Link quarterback and rushing yards in the second paragraph
  •  Done PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 17:40, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
• Link touchdown pass in the third paragraph
  •  Done PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 17:40, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Teams

• "all-time" → "ever"
  •  Removed rather than changed, since that sounded more natural to me. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:56, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
• "This was the first edition" → "It was also the first edition"
  •  Done PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:56, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
• Link bowl game in "13th bowl game appearance"
  •  Done PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:56, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders

• "dropping their overall record"
  •  Done PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:56, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
• Last sentence of this section needs a reference attached
  •  Done PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:56, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Toledo Rockets

• "this time on the road against Central Michigan"
  •  Done PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:56, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
• Also needs a citation at the end of the paragraph

Game summary

Pre-game

• Link the first instance of rushing yards
  •  Done PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:59, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
• "MTSU" is used for the first time in this section, everywhere else it's "Middle Tennessee". I'd put (MTSU) in parentheses when the team is first introduced in the background para
  •  Done – added abbreviation after first mention in "Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders" section under "Teams". PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:56, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
• Link quarterback
  •  Done PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:59, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

First half

• Link Kickoff (gridiron football)
  •  Done PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:59, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
• Use an en dash instead of a hyphen after "capitalize off of this miscue"
  •  Not done – as far as I can tell, an en-dash is already in use as opposed to a hyphen. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:59, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Second half

• See above about en dashes
  •  Not done – the one instance I can find already uses an en-dash. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:59, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Scoring summary

• Good

Statistics

• Good

References

• I used a script to fix some dashes, so now everything looks good formatting-wise
• SB Nation is not the best source; if another reference can be found, I'd prefer those be swapped in
  •  Done – swapped references No. 8, 9, 20, 21, 29, and 31. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 00:14, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

General comments

• No images, so those criteria cannot be assessed
• No stability concerns in the revision history
• Earwig copyvio score looks good

Putting on hold to allow nominator to address comments. Feel free to ping me with questions, and please let me know when you're finished! — GhostRiver 22:15, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

• @GhostRiver: thanks very much for the speedy review! I've made these changes (with the exception of two, see the en-dash issue), if you wouldn't mind looking it over again. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 00:14, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for making those changes! The script I ran to fix the other dash issues also picked up the ones I noted earlier, so everything looks good, and I'm happy to give this article a pass! — GhostRiver 19:48, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
