Default 0 Compression in Cylinders 1+4

So, my ranger finally had it's first huge problem. She shut down on me while going down the freeway. Got her home, and am starting to run my tests. It cranks over fine, but doesn't have any indication of starting. I can hear the fuel pump going, and have spark out of my plugs. I just did a compression test, and my 1 and 4 cylinders have 0. So, am I looking at a new head gasket? Would those 2 cylinders out cause it to not start at all, or just run really rough?

Any help appreciated guys. Trying to do this before I have to go down to base on monday.
