Necessary Roughness

Necessary Roughness

1991

Aging ex-quarterback Paul Blake (Scott Bakula) enrolls at Texas State University hoping to realize his dream of playing college ball. But as luck would have it, the school's pigskin program just got hogtied for rules violations, and all the veterans were booted. Undeterred, Blake helps organize a scrappy squad of replacements -- including a distaff placekicker -- and, to everyone's shock, the team's fortunes begin to pick up.

They just might be the biggest bunch of losers that ever became winners.
