  • Movie Goof (factual errors): Ernie's family is shown watching the 1960 Cotton Bowl on their porch in Elmira, NY. On January 1, 1960 the high temperature in Elmira was 33 degrees F.
  • Movie Goof (factual errors): Floyd Little was being romanced by Army, not Notre Dame when he chose to go to Syracuse.
  • Movie Goof (anachronisms): In a scene set in July, 1950, Ernie, Will, and his grandpa watch Jackie Robinson hit a home run on television. The announcer states that the homer is Robinson's 12th of the season. In reality, Robinson's 12th didn't come until September 24th, over two months later.
  • Movie Goof (factual errors): The movie shows the team being notified outside the Cotton Bowl that the hotel where the banquet is held will not allow the team's black players to attend and the team decides to skip the banquet and go for Barbeque. Fact is the team attended the banquet awards ceremonies (including the three Black players). Once the awards were over, the team was informed that the three black players could not stay for the dinner or dance festivities. The team then stood up and left the banquet before dinner began. They actually were hosted dinner at two different establishments after leaving.
