What Episode 4 is about

Episode 4 is titled '4TH QUARTER.' Russ and Danny cook up a risky plan that takes them behind enemy lines, which in this case means sneaking out of the team hotel the night before an away game to pull it off. Not subtle. Definitely not approved.

The show, the team, the vibe

Chad Powers comes from Michael Waldron and Glen Powell, with Powell also leading the cast. The supporting lineup includes Steve Zahn, Perry Mattfeld, Frankie A. Rodriguez, Quentin Plair, and Wynn Everett.

The setup: Russ Holliday used to be a big-deal college quarterback until he torched his own career with one brutal mistake. Years later, he tries to fix it the only way a sports comedy would allow: new name, new look, walk on to a struggling program, chaos ensues.

"Eight years after an unforgivable mistake nukes his promising college football career, hotshot quarterback Russ Holliday tries to resurrect his dreams by disguising himself as Chad Powers - a talented oddball who walks on to the struggling South Georgia Catfish."

If you're caught up, you know the show loves pushing Russ into dumb decisions with big consequences. Sneaking out on the road to finish a mission? That tracks.
