Lead problem

The lead says:

"...the most points scored in a D-IA/FBS [game during regulation time] ... since the NCAA began keeping records in 1937."

This line does not make sense to me without further qualification. The NCAA wasn't divided into Divisions until 1971 (and Division I wasn't divided into I-A and I-AA until a few years after that). I'd correct it, but I'm not sure exactly what the author is trying to say. Was it the highest combined score between two current FBS teams? Highest combined score between two teams considered "major college" at the time? Was it higher than any scores before the alignment into divisions...?

Thanks for the review. It's too bad about the image; I didn't know it was under full copyright (it was there a long time before I started fiddling with it). I've added a ref for the table (though it looks a little awkward), fixed ref 2, and added refs for the remaining sentences you mentioned, all from sources already included elsewhere in the article. Hopefully that addresses the concerns you've mentioned. Thanks, and let me know if you run into anything else. – Runfellow ( talk) 15:54, 11 June 2013 (UTC) reply
