... that Minnesota's Dick Wildung played for back-to-back national championship teams and was twice selected as a consensus All-American?
Sources: here ("Dick Wildung was a three-year starter at right tackle for the Golden Gophers, anchoring the back-to-back national championship teams of 1940 and 1941.") and here p 25 (showing Wildung as Consensus AA in both 1941 and 1942)
@Cbl62: In our article I am not able to see the hook represented. It is stated in the lead but I cannot find it cited in the body. Bruxton (talk) 03:33, 1 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Bruxton: Thanks, Bruxton. The article previously said the 1941 team "repeated" as national champion, but I've now made it more explicit as stated in the hook, with this edit. Cbl62 (talk) 03:42, 1 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
