“My All American” was written by Angelo Pizzo, the same screenwriter who penned “Rudy” and “Hoosiers.” The film is adapted from the new book “Courage Beyond The Game” by Texas writer Jim Dent, who’s best known for his books “The Junction Boys” and “Twelve Mighty Orphans.”
Pizzo spoke with TexasFootball.com in Dallas, explaining his motivation for the film.
