That wasn't Scott Bakula's only '90s sports movie! The Quantum Leap star was also the main protagonist in 1991's Necessary Roughness, a very generic title for a movie with a pretty wild cast. Our heroes here are the Texas State Armadillos (no relation to the actual Texas State Bobcats active in the modern Sun Belt). When TSU football gets SMU-ed out of existence for rampant cheating, the school president decides to rebuild the program with only a colorful collection of walk-ons. And what a collection they are! (IMDB this movie sometime. It's nuts. Jason Bateman is the cocky young running back. Kathy Ireland is their kicker!) Speaking of Ms. Ireland, her character Lucy is the hero of the Armadillos' first non-loss. The Armadillos have lost eight games in blowout fashion to fictional schools leading up to this point, but they manage a 3-3 tie against this real Power 5 institution, which bizarrely makes an appearance here - and it's not flattering! Lucy makes the tying field goal, then kicks a player from this school in the groin after he lands a cheap shot after the play. Of course, fans of this school's football team have been figuratively getting kicked in the groin most of this program's existence. Name the school.
