It's the fourth week of the '94 school year at St. Roman High and five foot two freshman Pete Hickey hasn't had much success on or off the football field. But thanks to a miraculous series of events, he finds himself named the varsity team's starting kicker for the biggest game of the year. Not only that, but the girl he's in love with, Alex Campbell actually calls him. It's up to Pete to man up, hit the game winning field goal, ask Alex to homecoming, and somehow convince Rocco to finally see Rudy. No pressure, right?
