Just a few quick comments: 1. for those complaining of the movie jumbling things around - it was a movie. Did "Pearl Harbor" or "Titanic" accurately represent what happened? not really. 2. The brawl really happened - you can find video on-line. 3. this video was made in 1960, of course they didn't talk about the racism and show the brawl. 4. Ernie Davis was the star of teh game, though other players contributed significantly. He scored 16 of Syr points and gained most yards.

@uricehe4 When a movie takes events like that and embellish them, it is trying to fit all of the emotion and importance of days and weeks and years into one event. That's why it is "drama." The very best are able to do it without changing too many facts, but even they have to change some. I grew up a Cleveland Browns fan and heard about Ernie Davis from day one, even though he had died by the time I was old enough to actually be a fan in 1965. Yes, the year after their last NFL Title.

Maybe this was edited to high heaven but I didn't see the attack on the Syracuse players when they were down by the Texas players as the movie showed. Also they didn't show the half-time brawl that happened between the two teams. Also, the movie showed the score was Syracuse 15 to Texas 14 before Ernie came in to save the day. Guess the movie played-up some parts to add to the climax.

I haven't seen the movie, so it may be that Hollywood exaggerated the race war part. However, the Texas players did call Syracuse black players names and pull some cheap shots. I have seen films of this game where a few scuffles broke out. You have to remember this was 1960, and that's the kind of attitude most whites in the South had toward blacks. This film is the official Cotton Bowl highlights film, so it's not going to show anything ugly.

He got spat on after each play. How did he respond? "Good play!" Got up and went back to the huddle.Of course education goes a long way. That explains the ignorant comments in this thread.If you think this story is BS, read the real story of Ernie Davis.

As I recall, Cuse actually had one more touchdown. That "in-field of play fumble" actually took place AFTER the back had crossed the goal line. There were two parallel lines: the goal line, and the line in the end zone that formed one side the rectangle that outlined the name of the team (Texas or Syracuse). The ref got confused by the stupid design and which was the goal line - and ruled fumble, when the back had actually crossed the goal line before giving up the ball. So final score actually should have been something like 30-14.
