Although finishing the season with a 9-3 record, BMS is picked to play the fictional Cypress Bowl against Clementine University, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Upon arrival in Baton Rouge, the team is placed under strict rules by Coach Daniels - no interaction with the media. The Pre-Bowl Game festivities consists of sabotage attempts by both teams, causing Thad to place some of his own rules on the team: no eating unless the food is prepared by themselves (to avoid intentional food poisoning) and a strict 10 PM "Lights Out" curfew. However, when Craig falls victim to Clementine's sabotage and is accused of rape, Thad, Alex, and Sammy must break their own rules and spend the night out in an attempt to rescue him from prison.
