The Program

The ESU Timberwolves are entering a season with high expectations after two disappointing seasons, with coach Sam Winters (Caan) pressured to win this coming season or be possibly fired. Darnell Jefferson (Epps), a highly rated running back, is recruited by ESU, and falls for Autumn (Berry) as she shows him around the campus. Jefferson is introduced to junior NFL prospect Alvin Mack (Duane Davis), backup QB Bobby Collins (Jon Pennell), who is dating Winters' daughter Louanne (Adams), and senior Steve Lattimer (Andrew Bryniarski), a gunner on the return team who has gained 35 pounds with the goal of starting in his senior year.
