...grandest stage in American sports, Kirk.

A chance for some of that patented Rose Bowl magic.

Tie game, a chance for one more play in regulation.

Stiff arm, huge block!

Oh, my God!

Inside the 30, this is insane!

To win a championship, Oregon...

Wait a second, Georgia's picked the ball up.

Did he drop that ball before he got to the goal line?

Georgia sure thinks he did.

Georgia is gonna win

a championship in the most outrageous, improbable, painful way

for Holliday and the Ducks to lose.

We've sadly come to expect this from Holliday throughout his career.

This is gonna haunt him, really, for the rest of his life.

Can you imagine the NFL? As good as Holliday is,

do you want this guy to be the face of your fran--

Even for Holliday, this is a new low.

Powers!

Powers, right now, come here.

Am I goin' in?

Looks like it.

Alright, Chad's time to shine, baby! Whoo!

What are we doin', Coach?

Come on. Gerry's gotta take a leak.

- Take the cup. - What-- what is this for?

I don't want anyone to see my ding-a-ling.

Oh, no! What... what?

- Why are you squatting to pee? - It's easier this way.

- Can you stop holding my hand? - Here it comes!

- Here comes the tee-tee! - Oh, God. It's hot.

It's like sizzlin'.

Just-- just watch where you're aiming, please.

Pressure on the next series, got it?

Fellas, what's going on? Come on, we got the ball!

- Stuff's still coming out, Coach! - Still coming out, Coach!

Wait, wh-- oh! Well, do a Kegel!

Pinch it off! Come on!

Pinch it, just pinch it. Be careful.

Hey, Chad, you're a great backup.

Guess we're sticking with Gerry.

This is his urine.

It's weird that you're still holding it.

- It's weird-- - I don't know what to do with it.

Well...

Okay.

Thank you.

- Thanks, Coach. - You're welcome.

You gonna wash your hands?

That's another sack taken by Gerry Dougan.

And, Greg, that's the kind of home opener it's been

for South Georgia here at Riverbend Stadium.

Yeah, it's been a slog, for sure.

I mean, down 13-3, and this Catfish offense

can't seem to get anything going.

- Gerry! - Come on, come on. Come on, come on.

You okay? Huh?

I didn't know I could get hit this much and not die.

- Yeah. - The effects on the skeleton

are long-term.

Don't worry about your skeleton, alright?

Look, we're gonna slow things down.

We're gonna make 'em play our game, alright?

- TV timeout's almost over. - Should we pray?

God's not real, son.

Now, you get your ass back out there.

...come back from this time-out,

third down and 10.

You are an incredible motivator of young men.

Thanks, Coach.

Go Fish! Go Fish!

Go Fish! Go Fish!

Start warming up.

- Why? - 'Cause we're not gonna come back

with this dink-and-dunk bullshit from Gerry.

- Did one of the coaches say I should-- - I am one of the coaches.

Yes, ma'am.

If you're the quarterback,

you have to find a way to provide a spark to this offense.

Absolutely. South Georgia has to come away

with points on this drive.

You see this formation?

Cover 2 Man.

Every time we go twins on third down, they're giving us this look.

All game.

We can expose 'em.

For fuck's sake.

Fuckin' fuck. Throw the fucking ball.

Do you wish you could play football?

Why do you think I ran track?

Gotta compete somehow.

I bet you won all the races.

Some of 'em, yeah.

Made it all the way to Olympic qualifying.

- Wow. - But then on the last turn,

I, uh, clipped a hurdle and...

fucked my knee, and my attitude.

Didn't ever win again.

Dang it.

Yes, Chad. Dang it.

Go Fish! Go Fish!

Go Fish! Go Fish!

Go Fish!

- Hey, Ricky. - Yeah?

Did your dad ask you to warm up Powers?

No, but I think he should be warming up. I think he should stay loose.

Ricky, stay in your own fucking lane.

Go Fish!

Gerry's having a tough enough time tonight.

If he sees you and Sling Blade over here playing catch,

it could get into his head.

Right, 'cause we're about to blow this game wide open.

I got an idea.

Why don't you go find me an empty Gatorade bottle?

- Would you do that? - Why?

'Cause I need a spitter, and it'll give you something to do, right?

- What are you doing? - What are you doing?

I can see how horny you are from across the field!

I'm not horny.

You are clearly horny for the coach's PAWG daughter.

You're gay. How do you know what a fuckin' PAWG is?

It's a "Phat ass white girl." It behooves me to know.

Obviously, Ricky's got a chip on her shoulder.

So, exploit the PAWG to get Chad into the game.

You know, I think you just like saying PAWG.

I do like saying it.

PAWG. PAWG. PAWG.

Gerry Dougan trying to capitalize on this trip to the red zone.

Yeah, the way the game has gone offensively,

the last thing you wanna do is--

Tricia, you can't smoke in the suite.

Uh... Well, when you paid

for the Jumbotron, you can smoke anywhere.

You didn't write that check.

You may have his money, but you are not your daddy.

Oh, Davis.

We're almost at the end of the third quarter.

Don't you-- don't you need to get to the airport?

- Airport? - Mm-hmm.

Don't you always scoot early 'cause your plane's little engine

takes so long to warm up?

Now, we're comparing jets.

Oh, no. I have a jet.

You have a Sybian with wings.

Probably a woman pilot.

I do not have a woman pilot.

And what's wrong with a woman pilot?

N-Nothing.

Come on. Let's push it!

Gun Double Right, 52 Zig, Omaha.

We need six, Gerry.

God, if I'm him, I'm looking in the direction of Nishan Leonard here.

- Nishan. - Come on, Nishan, Nishan. Nishan.

He floats one over the middle.

Goddamn!

And it's intercepted in the end zone.

Picked off by Ole Miss.

And Sherill runs it back to the 30.

That was just an awful pass by Dougan.

- Fuckin' had 'em. - What'd you say?

Up and at 'em!

Just-- just to myself.

Fuck, man!

I lost radio.

- Me too. - Yeah?

Straight up bullshit!

Goddamn it, Nishan!

You could've electrocuted us like a goddamn eel!

Yeah, well, eels ain't electric.

Eels are classically electric! What, do you ever go to class?

Yo, man, what-- what we talkin' about? Are we talkin' about the game

- or we talkin' about animal class? - Hey, hey, hey.

Check, check, check.

- Come on... - Okay, I'm gonna-- I'm gonna head out.

Not because my plane engines

- need time to warm up, okay? - Mm-hmm.

It's just 'cause it's obvious we're gonna lose.

Yeah. We'll see about that.

Defense! Defense!

Hey, Coach?

What's up?

That third down look you saw,

when you said we could expose their secondary?

What about it?

Do you have a play to expose 'em?

Yeah.

We, uh, Gun Right, Zip 72.

Aggie Special.

Mm!

Yeah, I don't think Gerry can make that throw.

Uh, you know-- you know at practice, Coach Dobbs said I was mentally retarded.

But he said Gerry's physically retarded.

- Okay. - I can make that throw.

One Gerry can't make, I can make it.

'Cause I think the Catfish, we need a different kind of retard.

You might think so, but o-obviously, Coach doesn't.

Nah, I think he'd listen to you.

I mean, think about it. It's like, inside of your ovaries,

you carry the eggs of his grandbabies.

What are you talking-- w-why?

I mean, he listens to you 'cause he's your dad.

Out here, he's not. He's not-- he's not my dad,

and I am not his daughter.

But why?

I mean, it's bad enough that a girl's on the sideline.

Like she doesn't even deserve her job.

Daddy gave it to her.

- Says who? - Everyone in the stadium.

Everyone in the stadium believes that.

I mean, sounds like they're just a bunch of re--

You don't need to say it again.

Alright, let's prove 'em wrong.

Rick.

Headsets gone to shit. Where's the backups?

What? They're-- they're in the equipment room.

- Alright, can you get 'em? - Right now?

We're not winning this game without radio.

- Alright, well, maybe-- - Okay.

- Uh... yeah, yeah. Alright, I'm on it. - Maybe we can finish the conversation--

Oh! Ricky, thank God!

What are you doing down here? We're in the middle of a game.

I know! And we're getting our asses

handed to us on a silver platter.

Got one of them round things on top, they lift it up, it's just ass.

Yeah. Well, I-- I gotta get these headsets

- back to the sideline. - Oh, terrific.

That's where I was heading till I got lost.

Oh.

Alright, can-- can you be on the sideline?

I don't know, can I?

I... I-- I don't really know.

I don't-- I don't know what the rules are.

Oh, well, I-- I-- I don't really know if I give a shit.

- Oh, God. - Let's go!

Okay.

You're fast.

I train to one day run from the poor.

Go Fish!

Go Fish, come on.

- Why do you keep looking at that guy? - Who?

The backup QB, Chad something.

Why are you looking at where I'm looking?

Ew, are you fucking him?

No. He's fucking me.

He's, like, extremely ugly.

Got the headsets. I got 'em.

Oh, hey, Ricky, we actually got these working, but thanks.

Oh.

No worries. Just fuck me, right?

- Coach! - Tricia.

Boosters really shouldn't be on the sideline.

- And yet, here I am, hm? - It's the fourth quarter, we can--

Yeah, I wanna know how it's gonna be different than the other three.

Okay, well, you're gonna find out with everybody else.

Now, what are we thinking? Rattle 34?

Oh, so we're just gonna punt again, huh?

We don't have to.

Coach.

When they go Cover 2 Man, their safeties are lining up really wide.

We can attack the middle of the field vertically.

Oh!

Coach, that's-- that's not a bad idea, but, um...

Gerry can't make the throw.

I can.

Chad can.

He can do it.

I think, honestly, no offense to Gerry.

I think we need a-- a different kind of retard at QB.

I do take offense. You said that really offensively.

Sweetheart, we're only down ten points at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Okay, but you know when ten points feels like three,

and you also know when it feels like 21. This feels like 21.

Okay, so you want to switch quarterbacks in our opener?

- I... - So, if Chad shits the bed,

then you've ruined Chad and Gerry.

I'm not gonna shit the bed.

You've never played on a stage this big, okay?

It's no fault of your own.

- You could shit the bed. - Well, you wouldn't even know.

The bed's already covered in shit. It's Gerry's shit.

You know, the bed's full of turds.

They're falling out, they're moving their way

into the hallway. No offense.

Everything you guys are saying is really offensive.

Okay, okay.

Now the play clock's going. Who are you going with?

I am Team Ricky, y'all. Change can be invigorating.

- Let's just try-- - This is not

fucking play-calling Congress!

- I just want to win, Coach. - Yes.

I wanna win!

Look, Gerry is our quarterback.

- I know. - So, drop it, sweetheart.

Holy shit, can you please stop fucking calling me sweetheart?

Oh, my God, will you get over it?

I call you sweetheart because-- because I'm your dad.

And you're lucky that I'm your dad,

because it's the only reason I indulge this insubordinate crap!

We're gonna lose. We're gonna lose, and you're the only one

who doesn't see it. Just like with Wendy.

You're done for the night. Off the field!

- Are you serious? - Now!

Fuck! Timeout, timeout.

And Jake Hudson has to burn a timeout

at the start of the quarter!

Yeah, what a disaster. The Catfish sideline--

Give Gerry the play.

- Ricky's play? - No.

Word of advice on daughters, Coach--

Tricia. Truly...

- Mm-hmm. - ...you cannot be here right now.

- Yep. - You need to go.

Folks have been telling me all night what I can't do.

I want you to know what I can do, if I have to.

Fire Hudson!

- Listen. - Fire Hudson!

Fire Hudson!

Fire Hudson!

- Fire Hudson! - Not now.

Hey, Coach. You alright?

Yeah.

Yeah, that was an awesome interaction,

both personally, professionally, in front of fucking everyone.

Yeah. I didn't mean for it to go that way.

That wasn't-- that wasn't you. That was-- that was me.

That was my shit, that's-- that's what I do.

And lose.

I fucking lose and then I just melt down.

And from the jaws of defeat, I snatch more defeat.

Yeah. Losin' sucks.

Didn't you just start playing organized football?

What have you lost, Chad?

Enough.

I know what it's like to just wanna win again.

You might have come to the wrong team.

Jake Hudson talking to his daughter Ricky

who's an offensive assistant for the Catfish.

The play clock is running and running and running,

and it looked like they were totally oblivious to it.

And the temperature, I think, turning up

on that hot seat that Jake Hudson's on right now

here in Riverbend Stadium.

Hey, watch out, watch out!

Ah!

Oh, my God, he came at me so fast. I honestly thought he was gonna attack me.

Mother father!

So, Gerry Dougan is down.

And it looks like Jake Hudson's going to have to turn

to the backup quarterback, Chad Powers.

How could Jesus let this happen?!

Chad.

I know--

I know I told you that you weren't ready.

But screw that. You were born for this moment.

Try to remember eight-year-old Chad Powers

with the arm of an M61 Vulcan throwin' footballs through a tire swing.

Every up, every down, every choice, every mistake

carried you here to this spot.

Where you belong.

Life is a river, son.

Tonight...

you become a Catfish.

Are you-- are you gonna say something weird?

In at quarterback for the Catfish, number 2,

Chad Powers!

Powers.

Second down and ten for the Catfish.

Mic check.

We're gonna go Gun, Trips Right, Wide Left, Smash Bow.

Okay.

It's me now.

Gun, Trips Right,

Wide Left, Smash Bow.

On one! Ready!

Chad Powers is a bit of an unknown.

And all we know about Powers is that he won the backup job

at an open tryout just a couple weeks ago.

Come on, come on.

Come on, Russ.

Wide 80! Wide 80, set!

- Powers is under pressure. - Get rid of it, get rid of it!

He rolls away from it as the defense closes in

and he had to throw it away.

Incomplete pass...

Gun, Bunch Left,

Air Fly, 50 Magic.

Ready!

Powers is looking at third and long,

and it feels like this game is hanging in the balance.

Attack the ball!

Wide 80.

Wide 80, set!

- Powers under pressure... - Get it to Nishan!

Fires over the middle and it's caught!

Nishan Leonard, a big first down.

What a throw by Powers.

- First down, Catfish. - There you go.

Okay, let's go, go, go!

Hitting the open Leonard in stride.

And just like that, the stadium crowd

- here at Riverbend is right back into it. - Come on, Chad, giddy up.

Alright, Chad, we're going Longhorn.

Alright, boys! We're going Longhorn.

We're going Longhorn on one. On one.

Ready!

Sometimes the backup quarterback is the spark a team needs.

Wide 80. Wide 80, set.

Looking to pass. And he's gonna take off.

Holy shit! Unhitch that trailer, here we go!

Come on, Powers. Go, Powers!

Go, go, go!

Touchdown, Catfish!

And that's Chad Powers for the--

What the fuck are you doing?

Oh, momma! Oh!

The Catfish still down by three,

and the clock is winding down.

They gotta find a way to get the ball back.

Ole Miss hands it off to Mitchell.

He gets stopped! And the ball is--

Loose! That's our ball! That's our ball! That's our ball!

The ball is free.

I'm not sure who has it.

Catfish ball. Catfish ball.

South Georgia comes away with the ball.

- Fuck yes! - My goodness!

Let's go!

Alright.

Chad Powers has the Catfish at the Ole Miss 40,

but it's third and long and the clock is under a minute.

You know Jake Hudson really wishes he had that wasted timeout back.

Alright, Chad. Gun, Deuce Right, 50. Charlie Dagger.

Gun, Deuce Right, 50, Charlie Dagger on one.

On one, ready!

Can Chad Powers pull off a miracle.

There it is.

What's happening, Chad?

He's not snapping the ball. I don't understand what he's doing.

The clock is running!

Run the play we called, Chad.

What's happening? Is he having an episode?

- I don't know, Coach. - Coach, we got 20 seconds, no timeouts.

Alright, easy, easy, easy!

We're going Aggie Special, Aggie Special!

Did he just call his own audible? What's he doing?!

- Is that Aggie? - It's Ricky's play.

If you ever fucking do this again,

I will kill you.

But right now, win this bitch.

Set!

Powers in the gun, it all comes down to this.

Wide 80, set!

Ah!

Lets it fly toward the end zone...

- Touchdown! - Fuck yeah!

Yeah! Let's go!

Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes!

Oh, my God! Yes!

Go Fish! Go Fish!

Who the fuck is that guy!

Why aren't you celebrating?

I am.

Go Fish.

Go Fish.
