- Summary:
- When Charles Osman, history professor at a small-town college, has the audacity to flunk Raymond Blent, the football team's star running back, on the eve of the homecoming game, it is the beginning of a chain reaction that upsets a football game and a good many people besides.Osman is coaxed--even threatened--by students, college administrators, alumni, and townspeople to change the failing grade. But all is not as it seems. Blent has his own reasons for not wanting to play in the game. When Osman falls in love with Blent's charming young girlfriend, matters really start to heat up!
