Corrected entry: At the end of the movie, when they are driving away in the pick-up truck - the brake lights flash several times without slowing the truck. I'm told this is a low-tech method of making the truck tires "peel-out". They selectively disable the rear-brakes, which causes the rear wheels to spin when the brakes are applied to the front wheels. They forgot to remove the brake light fuse which would have masked this technique. (01:48:05)

Other mistake: When the Aggies are in the locker room after the football game, they are all getting undressed and showering. This is happening right after the game yet none of them have a spot of dirt on their nice white uniform pants. (00:59:50)
Ed Earl: Boys, I got myself a pretty good bullshit detector, and I can tell when somebody's peeing on my boots and telling me it's a rainstorm.

Correction: Brakes do not apply as soon as the brake light comes on. You have to push the pedal down sometimes halfway before the brakes will apply. With the bouncing the truck is doing the pedal could bounce around enough for the light to turn on.
