Due to NCAA sanctions, the Texas State University Fightin' Armadillos must form a football team from their actual student body, with no scholarships to help, to play their football schedule. With fewer players than most teams, the makeshift team must overcome obstacles that the best teams in the country couldn't deal with. Using a 34 year old quarterback, a female placekicker and a gang of misfits, Ed "Straight Arrow" Genero must take his team to play the number one Texas Colts. 根据美国大学体育协会的规定，德州州立大学被迫组成一支橄榄球队，由于没有奖学金的支持，愿意加入橄榄球队的学生少的可怜。这个临时成军的球队，由34岁的四分卫领军，他发现自己的球员，都是对橄榄球徒有狂热，没有概念的阿达球员，后卫球员将每一场比赛都视为战斗，中卫球员深受金钱问题困扰，前锋球员有的以日本武士道精神打球，有的则是蛮横的牛仔，更糟的是，踢球员是一个女生，中锋球员还爱上了她！这一群菜鸟球员是否有机会反败为胜呢？
