Some of the sports stuff is definitely dramatized (which I get)
from what I've read, a LOT of it was changed to make a better movie.
Gerry and Julius were nowhere near as close as the movie portrays. They were friends, but not "brothers" like in the movie.
The racial tension on the team was way overblown in the film. Supposedly they were just like another team as far as closeness or chemistry pretty much from the word jump.
Gerry's wreck didn't happen until after the season was over. He played in that championship game.
the school had already been integrated for several years before the movie shows it to have happened.
The Gettysburg scene is mostly fiction. They didn't run there before sunrise. They took a bus and a guided tour during normal hours.
etc.

And not to derail the thread but TC Williams was renamed a few years ago

The other schools were integrated too. The movie made it seem like they were playing all white teams.
The banana scene did not happen.
Bill Yoast had 4 kids and not 1. Yoast was not happy that the movie portrayed him having 1 daughter.
No one through a brick through Coach Boone's window. It was a toilet instead.
The Titans did not dance during warmups but I liked this inclusion in the film.
