football premise problem

Jimmie "Doodle" Bug (Joe Penner) is a good-natured bumbling entertainer with limited skills and less appeal. His rich father stops paying the club where he sings to an empty room. He is forced by his father to attend the old alma mater Taylor Tech where his father was the football star. The son of his father's rival, Larry Weldon, is now the school's top football player. His father wants him to be the star and he's willing to pay for it. All the boys have a crush on Janice Martin.

The premise would never work. His father needs to bribe or sabotage every opponent or lots of both. Football is simply never going to work unless they discover Doodle has an unique skill. Here's my silly outlandish pitch. Coat him in a special long-lasting oil which makes him impossible to tackle. The physical comedy would be promising and maybe it would save this football premise. When he starts doing well, none of that feels right and the movie loses me completely.
