I'm surprised you didn't just pull an all-nighter and finish it to turn in within 24 hours. I've written papers the night before and gotten As. True, I'd already done the other things like research or whatever, but it's not hard to BS a paper out in a night if you just work at it. Unless it was an evening class on that Friday, when you found out it was due that day you should've hit the computer lab (or whatever you use) and just sat there for five hours until you were done, and then printed it out and put it in their mailbox. You would've been docked some points for it being late, probably lost a letter grade, but it's better than a zero.

Anyway, talk to the professor, you can probably work something out.

EDIT: If you guys doubt the five-hour method, I have a 3.94 GPA. Five hours is enough time for any undergraduate paper. True, there were plenty of papers I finished at least a few days before they were due, but sadly looking back I probably could've waited until the night before to actually write the things. Universities are not as stringent as they maybe should be.
