Goofs

The game action recreated for the film was shot during a prime-time night game, but the historical event of Clemson hosting unranked Florida Atlantic University for the season opener in Memorial Stadium on Saturday 2 September 2006, was actually played in the afternoon.

User Reviews

A bit disappointing

I like movies based on real people so I was looking forward to this one. While it had potential, it never really lived up to it. Somehow it never grabbed you like other movies of this type. Look to movies like "Rudy", "Invincible", "Remember the Titans". "We Are Marshall". "Greater" and others before watching this one. Perhaps the writers and directors should have watched them too.
