After watching remember the Titans last night, I decided to google the real Gary Bertier (RIP). In the 1971 season, T.C. Williams went 13-0, and he had 42 individual sacks.
I've read a few times that the movie severely undersold how dominant that team was and how good Bertier was. They were considered the best team in Virginia HS history until 1996 Hampton came along.
They were not the only integrated school in their district and they won the state championship game 27-0, not on a last second play as described in the movie.

ncaa also subtracts from the QBs rushing yards on a sack
In the nfl just goes against the teams passing yards

It’s like they decided “hey, let’s put every cliche sports thing we can into this one movie.”

The movie embellished a ton of stuff and rewrote the actual story for the most part.
A decent movie, but not true. Based on true elements though.

27-0 doesn't make for great theater

This is practically every movie based off of a true story

Went down a google worm hole looking up stuff about Sunshine. He QB’d at South Carolina.
His son was a QB at a HS in north Myrtle beach, not sure where he is now

I could enjoy a movie about Alabama losing 27-0.
