"One Week," a "Hard Knocks"-esque television series, is at BMS following the team and its coaches both on and off the field. While documenting the franchise's struggle to return to its former glory, the 'show-within-a-show' highlights the growing feud between Gilday and Alex, Daniels' insecurities caused by Gilday, and Thad's desire to become an actor.
A blackout on campus has postponed the following day's game against Buckingham. Alex uses it as an opportunity to settle the score with one of Buckingham's cheerleaders who humiliated him in high school. Daniels and the other BMS coaches play a game of poker against the Buckingham coaches with increasingly high stakes.
While Alex adjusts to becoming the starting quarterback and team captain, Thad awaits word on his future with the team after his drug related arrest following BMS' loss in last season's championship game. In the meantime, Sammy attempts to move into the Goat House and Mary Jo begins her try-sexual journey.
