Come on. Let's go.

- Can I put on some clothes?

- Ward, you're defense.

Say what?

How bad do you want it?

Hut. Come on, come on, come on.

We gotta hurry. Dig, dig. Just dig deep.

Okay, yeah. Right there, right there.

Come on.

Seriously, guys?

What's gotten into you two?

Hey Lucas, get down here.

What? No. Absolutely not.

Do you know what time it is?

It's 3:
23 in the morning.

- It's senior year, dude.

- Dude, I understand it's senior year.

But I'm tired.

You're waking up people.

Come on, Lucas.

You can be our linebacker.

No. No. B, B, I'm a receiver.

Set. Hit.

Reset.

Set. Hit.

They might not be that bad this year.

Kidding me? They're still terrible!

- Hey, Brandon, come in.

- Hey, coach.

- We're starting Second Timothy tonight?

- Yeah. That's the plan.

- Whoa!

- Whoa!

- Garrett, how are you?

- What's up, coach?

- Good to... Anthony.

- Hey, coach.

It's good to see you guys.

You believe how hard they're working?

Seems like a whole new team this year.

Wish I could say it's all 'cause of me.

You know that's not true.

You know, coach?

I believe we're gonna have

a winning season this year.

And Brandon Burlsworth

is gonna take us there.

Fifty-seven walk-ons?

Is that normal, coach?

That's the Burlsworth factor.

Move, move!

And we are underway now

with the Hogs' 1998 conference opener

against tin-ranked, Alabama.

Okay, boys, they've rolled

into our town looking for an easy win.

Let's show 'em otherwise. Go, go!

- How bad do you want it?

- Real bad.

- How bad?

- Real bad.

Yeah, let's roll. Let's roll.

Let's get it. Let's roll.

- Hi, Marty.

- Go get 'em, Bran!

- Yeah, move it, move it!

- Hey.

- What happened?

- It was a touchdown. Didn't you see it?

That was amazing.

Bye, Marty!

Hey, you might wanna put that lens on the

camera before you miss the whole game.

Oh. Thank you.

A stunning day

for this fired-up Razorback team.

They just delivered Alabama

their worst defeat in 41 years.

All right, boys,

get together now, come on.

Marty, make sure you get the scoreboard

in the background, win or lose.

Yeah. We're doing this every game.

Trust me.

This ain't a shot I'm gonna miss.

Sir? Your son sure is a heck of a player.

Thank you.

All right, son, smile.

- It's a seat... oh!

- Bring it up.

That means you hit your seat.

Living on a chain

- Faster, gentlemen.

I need you to work harder.

"I have fought a good fight.

I have finished my course.

I have kept the faith."

Mary, Mary, you're on my mind

Before too long

you'll officially be mine

Come on now, get in

your freaking head, don't sweat.

Come on, use the Burls way,

the Burls way.

And this is what I'm gonna do

- Set.

Set.

"Proud, arrogant, abusive

and disobedient to their parents."

And everything is gonna

be right, right, right, yeah

I'm gonna have a good time tonight

Rock-N-Roll music gonna play all night

Good one, boy.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Now, that's paradise.

What's Burlsworth gonna do, man?

No. What's he gonna do?

- No, he didn't!

- Oh!

That's my B.

"Traitors, Hades.

High-minded lovers of pleasure.

Worthy lovers of God."

Hut!

And this is what I'm gonna do

'Cause I feel good tonight

Hey.

Gonna have a good time tonight

Rock-N-Roll music gonna play all night

Come on, baby, it won't take long

Excuse me.

They'll have a good time tonight

- Touchdown!

- Yeah, baby!

When Burlsworth first got here,

with his 80% body fat.

Now it's 60%. Cute little guy.

Wait...

Oh, big hit by Nathan Ward.

We're gonna have a good time tonight

Stoerner going deep.

Lucas has it. Here he goes again.

Poor kid.

Rock-N-Roll music gonna play all night

One-eighty, hut!

And with that last-minute score,

the Razorbacks take down Auburn 24-21,

bringing their record

to an astonishing 8-0.

What a magic season this has been.

Yeah! Yeah!

The stage has now been set

for the big showdown of the undefeated

next week as you travel

to Tennessee.

Do you really think

you can beat the number one team

in the nation on their own turf?

Well, those guys are tough.

We'll have to put our heads down, work

as hard as we can. We'll see what happens.

Brandon?

Brandon, most people think...

Thanks, man.

- Marty. What's up, man?

- Oh.

You're killing me.

- You did it.

- Thanks, man, thanks.

- Congratulations.

- I almost forgot.

About the picture. Where's the guys at?

Bran, the game's been over for a half

hour. They're in the locker room.

Woo! One game, you know.

We going out tonight.

- Oh, yeah.

- Okay, brother.

- Sexy member for the booth.

- Yeah, you know you need to smell good.

- You need all the help you can get.

- There you go.

Garrett! Lucas!

Come on. We gotta get our picture.

- Y'all are portraying the Hogs.

- Man, Burls, we gotta miss this one, man.

- We already showered, man.

- Yeah, we're fresh and clean. Right?

Here we go, guys. Ready?

Cheese.

A sports legend is being

written this season,

with the amazing lives of the tenth-ranked

Arkansas Razorbacks.

And their star offensive guard,

Brandon Burlsworth.

Who has become quite possibly

the greatest walk-on story

In the history of college football.

This week,

Burlsworth and the 8-0 Hogs

face off against number

one Tennessee in a game

that could determine

the national championship.

You heard me right.

The Arkansas Razorbacks

have a chance to win it all.

Arkansas has roared out of the gate,

taking control of this game

from Tennessee.

Number one team in the nation

in serious trouble on its homefield.

Martin throws. And open pop.

Touchdown, Tennessee.

That's a go.

Finds Lucas in the end zone.

Refusing to be denied.

Tennessee is making it clear

they're not going down without a fight.

He's in the 50, He's in the 45, He's...

He's absolutely shredding

that Tennessee secondary.

This field goal would

extend the Razorback lead to five.

One, 27!

Move it, move it, move it!

- Set.

- Set!

Get the ball! Get the ball!

This will be... This will be AI Wilson.

He has the ball out there to the 25.

To the 30, to the 35, to the 40.

To the 45, to the 50.

To the 45, to the 40.

AI Wilson at the 20.

Burlsworth got him.

- Burlsworth got him.

- Yeah!

The big guard from Arkansas ran him down,

and saved a certain touchdown.

A spectacular play. Oh, my.

Burlsworth's

had an amazing season.

Only one penalty called on him all year

and a team-high in knock down blocks.

So, Tennessee will get marked

on third down, ten into the shotgun.

Here comes the pressure, past outfield

is clawed behind this landing Wilson.

And so, with 1:
59 to go, Tennessee

is faced with fourth down and ten.

It's Arkansas 24, Tennessee 22.

Tennessee, last chance

probably in the football game.

Trailing by two.

Come on now, defense.

Hold 'em and we got this!

This will be marked again

going into the shotgun.

Hold 'em, Ward. Hold 'em.

This is huge, fourth down and nine.

Perhaps the season hanging in the balance.

The stadium is shaking.
