Sources

Every document this archive was built from, and what each one is used for.

  • Season statistics reports (1999–2019): the official StatCrew cumulative reports linked from the athletics site's football statistics archive.
  • Box scores (1999–2025): 293 official game box scores (StatCrew game files 1999–2011, Sidearm box scores 2011–2025), parsed for individual statistics. For 2021–2025 these are the primary source of season totals; for every season they power the game logs and single-game leaderboards and are cross-checked against the season reports.
  • Cumulative statistics pages (2011–2025) on athletics.wheaton.edu, used as a cross-check.
  • Record book: the official career, single-season and single-game, team and coaching records, the year-by-year results, All-Americans and Wheaton in pro football.
  • Game log: the athletics site's opponent history database (every game since 1900), supplemented by the season reports.
  • Rosters (2006–2025): official season rosters, used for positions, hometowns, class years and to resolve player identities.
  • Player bios (2006–2025): 749 official player biographies, used for season-by-season notes and to compile All-CCIW, All-Region and other honors (536 honor mentions).
  • News archive (2007–present): all 772 football stories from the athletics site, with 216 game recaps attached to their box scores.
  • Schedules (1995–2026) for kickoff times, promotions and media links, coaching staff directories (2008–2026), the Athletic Hall of Honor (93 football inductees) and the program pages (McCully Stadium, the Little Brass Bell, recruiting, ministry partnership).
