Correction: Simply because a movie is based on a true story doesn't mean that they need to incorporate all the minor details from the true-life influences. Often times, while making a film, a writer/producer/director will knowingly change minor details, such as this one, simply because they believe it to be better for the story as a whole. This is a creative decision. In this film in particular: 1) Sunshine never really kissed Gerry in the locker room. 2) The team never really ran to the graveyard at Gettysburg for Coach Boone's speech. 3) The scene where the boys are rejected from the restaurant on the grounds that some of them were black never happened. 4) The character of Ray doesn't exist in real life at all. Therefore he couldn't have intentionally missed a block and, in doing so, injure one of the players. 5) The real Titans never danced onto the field prior to games, etc.
