Sal Aunese, the University of Colorado’s star Samoan Quarterback, died of stomach cancer in 1989 and his team promptly dedicated their season to him. Sal rose to the top as one of his team’s most valuable players and fought a valiant battle with the disease that took his life. Reminiscent of such poignant sports films of the past such as Brian’s Song and Rudy, this is a rousing story of courage, friendship, and living life against the most brutal of obstacles.
