Trivia
This film is the highest grossing sports comedy of all time, while another Adam Sandler vehicle, The Longest Yard is the second highest grossing sports comedy of all time. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: On the final play of the game against Iowa (the game that put the Mud Dogs into the Bourbon Bowl) Bobby picks off the field goal attempt in midair and runs it back for the seemingly winning touchdown. However, he begins to slide into the end zone around the 2 or 3 yard line. In college football, the runner is down when his knee touches the ground. The touchdown should not have counted.
