If so, can anyone please check whether all the goals are, indeed stick-side? Chances are, the movie would be accurate.

Why? Since when are movies consistant even with themselves? Luke's glass switches hands at least 4 times in a scene in Star Wars. Timeline spends half the story setting up a premise which it then spends the second half violating. There's a little red sports car driving in the distance behind the chariots in the original cut of Ben Hur. What makes you think this movie will be that accurate? And the movie would be at very best a secondary source, i.e. unreliable for this "sleuthing our asses off" that you are suggesting. You need to dig up a tape of the original game and watch the actual goals, not the recreated ones.
This is the type of conspiracy theory that gives conspiracy investigators a bad name. In the first place, you have NO evidence to back up these claims. You heard it from a friend who thinks maybe he read it some time. I think you should have done some looking into it before you posted these suggestions.
In the second place, you're taking a remarkeable win that has gone down in history as one of the alltime greatest moments in USA sports history, and you're taking a well-respected and recently deceased coach and basically saying it's all bullshit, the coach didn't do anything, the players didn't do anything, they couldn't have lost. Again, I think you need more evidence before you even suggest that this, frankly, amazing group of amateurs who kicked the crap out of seasoned professionals did not deserve their victory.
This kind of conspiracy theory makes the public at large have a knee jerk reaction that anyone who thinks a conspiracy is happening is a crackpot. A GOOD conspiracy theory would have at least some evidence that could point to its validity before it is even brought up.
