Mistake Factual error: In the scene when the opposing team's players interrupt the party on the bayou and the knife is pulled, the patches on the sheriff's uniform say County Sheriff. Louisiana has parishes not counties.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When the coach goes to Bobby's house to talk about the team with his mom, Bobby's mom goes up to bed and the coach shows the tattoo on his butt. In the top left corner of the doorway you can see a boom mike.

Mistake Continuity: When Bobby is in class learning about crocodiles, the teacher draws four dashes on the board from the words 'anger' 'jealousy' and 'aggression', which disappear and reappear repeatedly.

Mistake Continuity: After Bobby jump-kicks player 62 down to the floor, because he insulted him, the rugby ball appears beside player 62 between shots, as he lies on the floor.

Mistake Continuity: When it shows all the girls around the table, the mascot picks up a bottle of alcohol and drinks from it, even though the bottle cap is obviously still on.

Mistake Continuity: The final game is reported by the ESPN announcer as being the "Inaugural Bourbon Bowl", meaning it's the first one. Later, on Bobby Boucher's jersey, there is a patch that says "Bourbon Bowl 50th Anniversary 1948-1998".

Mistake Continuity: During the barbeque with Vicky, Bobby and Mama, after Mama drinks from her jar of red drink, she sets the jar down twice between shots.

Mistake Continuity: In the last scene of the movie, Bobby's wedding, his long-lost father Roberto drives his car in front of Bobby's lawnmower and stops in the middle of the street, the front of the car almost perpendicular to the curb. After Momma tackles Roberto, the shot when Bobby drives off shows the car parked parallel to the curb.

Mistake Continuity: When Bobby finds Vicky working on his lawnmower, a man wearing a yellow shirt appears and disappears in the background several times throughout the scene.

Mistake Continuity: When Coach Klein is round for the snake dinner, as 'Mama' Boucher sits sown, she holds both utensils in her right hand. In the next shot there is a meat fork in her left hand.

Mistake Continuity: When Bobby is first hired by Coach Klein, and the guys knock down the table with cups of water, Bobby and the coach talk. Two girls, one in a white t-shirt and the other in a black sports-bra type top, walk past Henry in the background in the wide shot, and again in the next close-up.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Bobby gives Coach Klein the water, Coach Klein is holding the cup. The camera angle changes between the two of them and when for the last time it faces Bobby, he is holding the blue cup.

Mistake Continuity: When Coach Klein is drawing his game strategy on the chalkboard, the drawings and lines are different between shots. Also, an extra line appears on the board as the Coach sits down.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: Crewmembers and the boom mike are often reflected in the football player's helmets throughout the film, especially in closeups of the players.

Mistake Continuity: When Bobby looks at the obscene note from the waterboy suggestion box, in the closeup the note is fresh and unwrinkled. But in the wideshot the note is crumpled and wrinkled.

Mistake Continuity: When Bobby told his mama that something bad happened in his work, Mama is holding the knife with the pointed edge facing to her left. When it shows Mama's back the knife points at the front. This continues every time the camera angle changes.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene of the last play of the Bourbon Bowl, with time running out the quarterback catches a pass from Bobby for the winning touchdown. While catching this pass, it shows him reaching back with his left hand to snag the ball while he is falling down on his left side. But the next shot from the beyond the end zone shows him hitting the ground on his right side.
