Two Minutes to Play is a cheap but energetic Sam Katzman-produced
vehicle for Olympic champion Herman Brix. The star plays Martin
Granville, an over-aged but undeniably muscular college football hero.
Martin finds himself in competition with Jack Gaines (Eddie Nugent) for
the affections of cute coed Pat Meredith (Jeanne Martel). In this way,
Martin and Jack are emulating their respective fathers, who'd been bitter
rivals ever since their own college days. As expected, the story, and its
attendant conflicts, are resolved in the climactic Big Game. Herman Brix
did rather better for himself when he moved to Columbia and changed his
screen name to Bruce Bennett.
