Member Rating:  
Eastern State University isn't particularly notable for anything except its football program. Lately, even that hasn't been doing too well, and the athletic staff led by Coach Winters (James Caan) are under considerable pressure by the administration and alumni to bring in a winning season. To do that, he has to recruit some able, promising young players out of high school. It's not too surprising to learn that he will do almost anything to get these kids, and its even less surprising that, as long as they keep producing on the field, he and the college will overlook almost any obnoxious behavior the boys can perpetrate to the limit of their ability. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

    This could have been a really good movie if they focused less on the love lives of the players and more on the compelling stories, especially the steroid guy, and the coach's moral quandary about sacrificing ethics for wins. Kinda reminds me of a low-rent Blue Chips.

    It could have been alot better if they hadent of dragged~out the scenens that had nothing to do with football. For the most part the movie was descent in the 1990's way.
