This is your typical college football hero drama (with lots of comedy) about four childhood friends, getting into trouble as youngsters but turning their lives around and struggling to get through college where they become football heroes. There's more character development than just the anticipation of the big game so you really feel like you get to know the characters played by Robert Young, Stuart Erwin, William Tannen and Russell Hardie, with real life beauty queen Betty Furness in good support as their lifelong female friend.
There's also Preston Foster, Ted Healey and Leo Carrillo, getting lots of laughs while pressing pants, and Healey his typical brassy self as Furness's black sheep brother. The storyline Texas into various directions, and the camera gets to go outside for an amazing speed chase in the country (resulting in a car accident), as well as the woods where some of the cast is camping. The mixture of sports, youthful drama, light farce and romance makes this a better film than I expected, showing that someone in the MGM writer's building was striving for something different.
