. Plain text. No markdown? Fine. Need maybe "two short paragraphs" in EXPANDED. We have two paragraphs. Under 120 words total. Good. But "additional factual detail and background drawn ONLY from material above" We included "eighth-ranked" from No. 8. "community, state and team" from quote. "conference" from league. "play-by-play" maybe not exact but paraphrase. "5-technique" from playing 5. "coach Brian Early" from coach (Brian) Early. Good. "previous game" from last game. "linebackers and defensive line" from quote. Good. Need no source phrasing copied. Some phrases maybe "stopping the run, running the ball and covering kicks" is source phrasing? The instruction says never copying source phrasing. We used exact phrase "stopping the run, running the ball and covering kicks" from source. That's copying. Need rephrase. "described toughness as requiring the defense to halt rushing attempts, the offense to establish its ground game, and special teams to cover kicks well." That's original
