Samantha Emerson on Ricky Williams' impact on the young Incarnate Word program.

One of the most difficult things a first-year college program can go through is the lack of credibility – Building a reputation proves difficult with recruiting, scheduling games, hiring a cohesive coaching staff and garnering support from alumni or other programs. Some programs struggle to get off the ground, and some schools experience early blessings in one way or another. University of Incarnate Word’s second year football program aligns more with the latter – and their blessing came in the form of Ricky Williams.
