Prologue
See those three boys over there?
Yeah, the kings of football?
The ones with their heads in their hands, drinking their beers and trying to figure out what the hell happened to their season?
They choked.
That’s right. These all-Americans became the biggest upset in college football and a complete embarrassment to their town.
Can it really be that bad?
Yes.
Former national champions, Braxton College was annihilated this year.
No, not just annihilated—completely and utterly destroyed.
Three games.
That’s it.
They won three games all season.
Interceptions. Dropped balls. Missed blocks. Fumbles. You name it, they did it.
First, there’s Hollis Hudson, the mysterious tight end who keeps everything locked down. He couldn’t run a route to save his life this year.
Next is Crew Smith, the protective one. Once an NFL hopeful, he now holds the record for the most interceptions in a season for a quarterback.
And rounding out the trifecta of crap is River Tate, the popular frat boy. He’s supposed to be a superstar wide receiver but dropped more passes than he caught.
Guys wanted to be them.
Girls wanted their hearts.
But at this point, not sure anyone would touch them with a ten-foot pole.
The truth is, they’ve screwed up their prospective NFL careers.
Maybe their entire lives.
There are three stories to be told…
This is Hollis’s.
