Corrected entry: When Rudy first arrives on Notre Dame's campus, he is advised to attend Holy Cross junior college to get his grades up so he can be eligible to attend Notre Dame. According to historical data, Rudy enrolled at Holy Cross in 1972. But in the scene when Rudy first walks onto Notre Dame's football field from the end zone, the Goal Post is at the end of the end zone. NCAA goal posts were not moved to the back of the end zone until 1974, so the goal post should have still been on the goal line in 1972.

Correction: Goalposts in college have been at the back of the End zone since 1927. They were on the goal line in the NFL until 1974. But not in college.
Just to confirm this is correct. In fact you can watch 1972 NCAA games online and see the goal post are not on the goal line.
