this movie be very disappointing in that several element of the book be wrongly do . the main story be the same but there be several flaw that hurt the movie . 1 ) boobie mile get injure in the beginning of the story in a preseason game at texas tech . this mean he would not get anything do during the season at all and chris comer come up sooner on the team . 2 ) the game against marshall be lose at marshall . the team depict a marshall be actually midland high one of permian main rival and here be the proof marshall high be the maverick color scarlet and silver and midland high be the bulldog color purple and gold . look at the jersey and you will see who it be . also the real marshall high football roster be overwhelmingly black and the team show be racially mixed like midland high . 3 ) permian only lose to midland lee by one point in district play . midland lee lose to midland high and midland high loses to permian . these be the team that set up the coin toss a such . 4 ) boobie come back on the team a a reserve to chris comer and after not get any playing time in the midland lee game and he quit the team completely at half time and never stand on the sideline or go to any game again . 5 ) brian chavez be a tight end and defensive end who wear # 85 not a tight end and strong safety . in addition and boobie wore # 35 and ivory christian wore # 62 . 6 ) the coach end up like chris comer a a player more than boobie because he have a good lifting ethic and run more straight up play the way the staff prefer him too and this be in part why boobie quit the team . 7 ) dallas carter be play in austin at darrell k. royal memorial stadium where ut play in the state semi final not the state final . carter win the state title but be force to forfeit due to an ineligible player . the acting be do pretty well but if you read the book and you will see these flaw be pretty true . i be also tire of hear all the pc hypocrites out there complain about the depiction of dallas carter football team . the team accord to the book be a large and monstrous and talented and and black a the movie show . people say it be a racist depiction but read the book and you see a true depiction of the team . the story be very altered give this movie a score of 3 . 5/10 .
