A player-recruitment weekend brings out a running back who poses a threat to Craig's position while Alex tries to enlist the top high-school quarterback for Blue Mountain State.

The guys struggle to figure out a way to pass the NCAA's random student-athlete drug testing.

Alex decides that becoming the backup goalie for BMS' hockey team is the perfect way to avoid his conditioning obligations and Radon quickly follows suit. Meanwhile, Mary Jo becomes Thad's personal cheerleader.

The team is one game away from and undefeated season when Radon is tackled in practice by Thad creating a confidence struggle that takes him out of the game. Meanwhile, Daniels suffers a heart attack as the pressure of a potential perfect season in jeopardy mounts.

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.

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.
