GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Copy changes

Teams

They entered the game with a 6–6 overall record, and a 5–3 record in conference — no need for a comma here. "A 5–3 record in conference" is not a standalone sentence. A comma and "and" separate otherwise separate sentences.
Their first win came the following week against Arkansas State, but dropped their conference opener the next week against Houston — missing subject in the second half
travelled probably should be traveled (one L) for American English

Very good use of links for football jargon here

Notes

References are archived (I see this was done after nomination, but this isn't a bad thing to do when you nominate a page).
Earwig turns up no elements of concern.
Images are all freely licensed (from the nominator, too!). They do need alt tags, which for most can be a simple "Refer to caption". You can use the |Alt= parameter in the infobox. (That infobox set with its strange parameter capitalization should really be changed over to standard, lowercase, underscore-using param names... Might need to float the idea to the project.)

@PCN02WPS: 7-day hold. All it needs are a handful of style tuneups and image alt tags. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 04:24, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Sammi Brie Thanks for the review! I have made the copyedits above and added alt text for the images (I believe I did this correctly, though I am inexperienced with doing that so if I made a mistake somewhere just let me know). I also noticed a couple iffy sources (SB Nation) so those have been replaced, and I ran it through some scripts to catch date formats, dashes, and archive the rest of the sources.

Smooth. Things look good. Was surprised to see SBNation flagged as unreliable despite no listing at RSP. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:20, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
