Continuity: Coach Winters picks up Darnell Jefferson's helmet twice after he is hurt in the team's first practice Continuity: When Darnell fumbles the football in the first practice and Coach Winters picks it up and tells him "how wonderful it would be if we still had the ball," the threads on the ball alternate from pointing up to pointing down. Continuity: The endzone design frequently changes colors from Maroon and Yellow to Red and Black. At one point "Carolina" appears visible (during the Michigan game) in the end zone. SYNC: When Darnell and Autumn are arguing over why she didn't tell her father about him, Darnell turns around and the word "Why?" is heard in Darnell's voice, but his lips don't move. Continuity: When Darnell meets Autumn in the library for a tutoring lesson, he isn't carrying the football. In the next shot of him, Darnell is seen with the football in his right arm. SYNC: When Camille calls Joe in rehab, Camille hangs up the phone but you can still hear a dial tone. Continuity: In ESU's final game against Georgia Tech, the Wolves get the ball back in the final minutes, the game clock is shown with both teams having one final time out remaining, but the announcer at the same time says ESU is out of timeouts. GEOG: During many of the crowd close-ups during the games, many of the fans can be seen wearing University of South Carolina shirts/hats/etc. In addition, during the Michigan game, fans with orange shirts can be seen, which would indicate opposing fans from Tennessee, not Michigan. SYNC: In the final game, Darnel is sitting on the bench he says, "Punk ass Griffin," but his lips don't move Continuity: When Joe and Camille are riding Joe's motorcycle off-road, the tires on Joe's motorcycle in the close-up are knobby/off-road tires while in the shots from the profile they are clearly street tires. Continuity: When Joe and Camille jump over the cliff on the motorcycle, Camille's skirt billows up, revealing her buttocks. When the motorcycle lands, her skirt is tucked under the seat. Continuity: During the final game, after Lattimer comes off the field and Coach Winters looks into his eyes to see if he had taken steroids again, Lattimer lowers his head during his close up. When they switch to a close up of Coach Winters, his head is up and he lowers it again. When they flip back over to a close up of Lattimer again, his head is up. SYNC: There's no possible way Darnell Jefferson would be able to speak so clearly while having a mouthpiece in his mouth during the game against Michigan. Miscellaneous: Several instances of unsportsmanlike conduct overlooked by the referees, i.e. Lattimer's tearing off the helmet of the opposing quarterback in the first game. Fact errors: When Coach Winters is being updated on High School Recruit Darnell, he is told by an assistant coach that Darnell returned a kickoff 108 yards against Taft. Error: The moment the ball enters the end zone, on a punt, field goal or kickoff, in HIGH SCHOOL, the ball is immediately dead and cannot be returned. |
