Stan Dragoti directs this funny sports film. The hits are hard and keep on coming. In trouble with the NCAA, the Texas State University Fightin' Armadillos must put a team on the field made up of actual members of the student body. Coach Gennero(Hector Elizondo)and his assistant coach Rig(Robert Loggia)are using extreme caution, but their team is really needing some guidance. In comes thirty-something high school standout quarterback Paul Blake(Scott Bakula), who never got to play on a college team. Its one butt whipping after another, until caution is thrown to the wind and a female(Kathy Ireland)field goal kicker is added to the team.
Larry Miller plays Dean Elias, who does everything he can to sabotage the Armadillos. Rob Schneider is the over zealous team play by play announcer. Also in the cast: Harley Jane Kozak, Sinbad, Jason Bateman, Fred Dalton Thompson and Andrew Lauer. The Fightin' Armadillos play a Texas State Penitentry team featuring the likes of: Dick Butkus, Earl Campbell, Tony Dorsett, Herschel Walker, Evander Holyfield and Jerry Rice.
This is a feel good movie and very realistic looking, albeit played for comedy. Well worth watching.
