- I can't wait to get started.
- Yeah?
- Texas!
- Yeah!
Whoo!
Gentlemen.
Impress me.
- (whistle blows)
- MAN:
Drop it!Up! (whistle blows)
Come on. Move those feet.
You can do better than that.
Come on! Pop up!
Hope Coach is right about you.
- Yes, sir.
- (whistle blows)
(players grunt)
Better keep up with your
Colorado buddy, Mitchell.
- He's here because of you.
- (whistle blows)
(grunts)
Come on! Move those feet now!
CAMPBELL:
Come on,Mitchell! Quit dogging it!
Nice hustle, Bobby.
You're doing great, buddy.
- (whistle blows)
- Steinmark, you're up!
Let's go! Come on! Let's see some hittin'!
- Let's go now!
- Set! Hut!
(players cheer)
CAMPBELL:
Who's next? Reynolds, go.Nice pop for a Colorado boy.
Set! Hut!
There you go, Freddie. Good hit.
Ohh!
- (knocking)
- (door opens)
Hey. Want a burger?
No.
What's the matter?
My brother Mark joined the army.
(fist strikes bed)
Why are you so upset?
You ever hear of a little
place called Vietnam?
Yeah, but not everyone who
joins the army is sent there.
He's training to be a helicopter pilot.
I'm gonna get a beer at
the rectory. You wanna come?
- A beer at the rectory?
- Yeah.
Some priest named Father Bomar
invites the football players over
to get away, relax, have some brews.
A priest?
(scoffs)
Yes, altar boy, a priest.
(door closes)
They use the freshmen as cannon fodder.
Since we aren't eligible
until sophomore year,
they don't care how much
I'm worried about you getting hurt.
Me? I'm invincible. Never
been hurt in my life.
My roommates tell me that
football players are the targets
for every girl on this campus.
You can't possibly be worried about me.
Well, you were treated
special in high school.
And if you end up being a star on
the team, which I know you will,
they're gonna treat you like a god.
Oh, I can't see me
loving nobody but you
- Stop. Stop. That's too much.
- For all my...
- (muffled singing)
- (squealing)
Freddie!
They moved me to a more
advanced Spanish class.
Congratulations.
My teacher... very good-looking.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Jealous?
- Hey, captain.
Good to see you.
- Do I know you?
- Freddie Steinmark.
I'm a freshman. I'm on the team.
Welcome aboard, young pup.
It's Bill Bradley, one of the
top quarterbacks in the country.
He's gonna lead us to
a national championship.
(laughs) "Young pup"?
Well, upperclassmen don't
normally even talk to freshmen
till spring practice next year.
Oh, so he honored you?
- Yeah, I guess he did.
- (laughs)
Let me lay this out as plain as I can.
A 6 and 4 record
is unacceptable for Texas football.
This year things are gonna
be a little different...
no, a lot different...
than anything we've ever done here before.
Gentlemen, football
doesn't build character.
It eliminates the weak ones.
We're about to weed out the weak.
CAMPBELL:
Come on, come on, comeon! Let's go, boys! Get 'em up!
ROYAL:
We got 200 playersvying for a spot on
a 100-man roster.
CAMPBELL:
Come on!Get that butt down, Mitchell!
That means by the end of this
two-week spring practice session,
100 of you are gonna quit, get hurt,
or we'll kick your ass out of here
for not being good enough
or not working hard enough.
All right!
Faster! Double! Double
time! Let's go! Double time!
We are gonna stay here all day.
No one is guaranteed a
spot or a starting position.
Each week you will be rated.
Come on, Steinmark! Get up there!
Let's go, ladies! Come on! Let's go!
Some of you who played this week
won't be in the same spot next week.
Move! Move! Faster! Let's go! Faster!
Last spring, we didn't wear
or get into nutcrackers or
- (whistle blows)
- Go, go, go, go, go!
CAMPBELL:
Come on, comeon, come on, come on!
(whistle blows)
Happy hour.
I don't think I'm pushing
these boys hard enough.
(scoffs)
(whistle blows)
You ran 30 off this week alone.
That Steinmark kid...
I can't make him sweat.
The more I push him, the
more he answers the call.
I don't know what they're putting
in the water up there in Colorado,
but we could sure use
some of that down here.
Okay, Frank, we'll do that.
MAN:
Oh, sweet thingCome on and dance with me
FREDDIE:
All right, let's see what you got.Yeah, that's right. Lighten
your feet. Yeah, I'm ready.
Oh! Wheeler's pass,
intercepted by Steinmark.
- (squeals)
- He's gonna take it back all the way.
Oh! It's a monster tackle!
The last-ditch saving tackle!
- (yells)
- Stop. Stop.
Steinmark is down.
This summer went by too fast.
Mm. Not fast enough.
I can't wait to start practice
and play for real.
You've got nothing but
football on your mind.
That's not true.
- Mm.
- It's not.
Gentlemen, we're gonna
implement a new offensive set.
It's called "the triple option."
Now, that means we're primarily
gonna be a running team.
And I guarantee you
no one we play this year will
have ever seen this offense.
Now, quarterbacks... Bradley,
Norwood, Street, Phillips...
how you read the defense
and make instantaneous decisions
will determine whether
So we're gonna try you all.
And whoever can best handle the challenge
runs the show.
Okay?
All right, let's give
our quarterbacks three.
- Let's get to work!
- Let's do it! Come on!
Down! Set! Hut!
- (whistle blows)
- Bill. Where are you going?
Down! Set! Hut!
(whistle blows)
Smart play, James.
Set! Hut!
Man, that kid's got an arm.
Yeah, he's a little slow on
the read, but he can throw.
Set! Hut!
We're either gonna go 10 and 0 or 0 and 10.
We sure as heck ain't gonna go 6 and 4.
(humming)
- Fast Freddie.
- Ooh!
Hey, Slick.
Boy, you showed 'em how it's
done out there, little dink.
Little dink? (chuckles)
Hey, you and me need to stick together.
You lead the defense. I'm
gonna lead the offense.
I'm a long way from leading anybody.
Hey, bubba, I know a gamer
when I see one, all right?
Give us a couple of years, you and
me are gonna be running the show.
I won't be running the show.
And you got the number-one quarterback
in the nation in front of you.
Ooh.
Just a matter of time, Fast Freddie.
Hey, Bobby! Hey.
Hey, what's the matter?
They're moving me to offensive line.
Guess they're trying to make me quit.
I don't want your Pollyanna bullshit now.
Okay.
You're not gonna quit.
- Why is that?
- Because you promised your brother you wouldn't.
CAMPBELL:
Steinmark!Coach Royal wants to see you in his office.
Yes, sir.
(knocking)
Come on in, Freddie.
(scribbling)
Sit down.
We don't have a defensive back,
including an upperclassman,
who understands their
position as well as you do.
Hell, it's like you got a second sense
of where the damn ball is
going before it even gets there.
I think you may be the
toughest kid we got on the team.
