Data Quality

Validation against the official record book, every correction applied to the source data, and the known gaps.

520 of 550 record-book entries for players whose careers fall entirely within the statistical era match the computed totals exactly (94.5%); 536 (97.5%) are within two units. The remaining differences are documented in the data-quality report and almost all reflect small corrections on the official side or errors on the source pages (for example, a 2024 cumulative-statistics page that credited an opponent's quarterback to Wheaton — the box score was used instead).

  • 2025 season record and coach taken from the 2025 statistics page; the official year-by-year page had not been updated yet.
  • Per-game box scores (1999-2011 StatCrew game files) were summed and compared with the official season reports: rushing, passing, receiving and tackle totals agree exactly in every season except 2005 tackles (season report revised after the games, box total 18 lower) and scoring in 1999-2000, where four 1999 game files and the St. Xavier 2000 file carry no scoring summary, so PAT kicks in those games cannot be attributed.
