In the Season 2 finale, Smash tries to salvage his college plans, by making some calls to schools who had shown interest in him before he committed to TMU. Street's waitress one night stand, Erin shows up at Buddy's car lot and tells Street, that she is pregnant! Tami runs in to her old boyfriend, Mo, who is a big real estate mogul, who doesn't really have a good history with Coach Taylor. Mo invites Tami and Coach to a fundraiser at the hospital. Street seems happy that the Erin is pregnant because he was told this couldn't happen, he thinks its a miracle. Riggans is doing a sports radio show on the Christian radio station. Smash shows up at Alabama to speak with the coach, and is told his scholarship went to another player and there is no room for him there. Landry tells Saracen that him and Tyra got back together. Smash is talking to someone from the Arena Football League as an alternative to college, the guy tells him he can make 42,000 for the season. Mo tells Coach Taylor and Tami he will be at the game on Friday. Street asks Coach Taylor for some answers to his situation and Coach Taylor tells him that a relationship needs to have trust and honesty (very true!) A radio caller asks Riggans what he thinks of the Smash situation, and he says he thinks its ok to hit someone, which creates a little controversy. Coach Taylor sets up a meeting for Smash with Whitmore, a lowly college that is still willing to offer him a scholarship. The Panthers are having an easy time with their opponent South Pines, Landry comes into catch a TE screen for a TD. Taylor looks up into the stands and sees Mo holding, baby Gracie. Then Mo gives Coach a hard time about letting South Pines score as time expired. Smash accepts the scholarship from Whitmore. Tami and Coach Taylor go to dinner with Mo, Coach and Mo get into a big brawl and Tami leaves. Lyla goes to meet Chris' family, and is disappointed when he rejects her, making a move on him (Riggans would have not made that mistake!) So either Chris' extreme religiousness dooms him with Lyla or he is gay. Smash is still upset that he lost out on the big schools, but his momma tells him that he is still going to college, he is going to get an education and he will be the star on that team. Street tells Erin how he feels about her and the baby, and we are left with a cliff hanger for Season 3. FNL has been picked up for a third season that will first air on Direct TV then will be later shown on NBC.
