Roger Ebert lauds The Express about Ernie Davis as a groundbreaking college star who dies young. The piece notes Davis’s impact at Syracuse and the film’s focus on race, mentorship with coach Ben Schwartzwalder, and the broader era’s racism.
The Express prompts Helen T. Gray to recall her Syracuse days with Heisman winner Ernie Davis, who died of leukemia in 1963. Gray, not involved in the film’s production, watched an advance screening and found the movie uplifting, praising actor Rob Brown and asserting Davis would have handled conflicts privately.
