"We've got a lot of teaching to do," says first-year Texas College coach Ricky Carson, whose team is off to a rough start this season.

In the season opener, the Steers lost 68-0 to Concodia College (of Alabama). The next week's result was a little closer: a 52-6 loss to Oachita Baptist (Texas). Then came a 92-0 pasting at the hands of Stephen F. Austin, followed by a 75-6 loss to Texas Southern.

But Carson has had quite a challenge managing the football program at his 964-enrollment school in Temple, Texas. Before the season even started, he lost 20 players to defections and players being ruled ineligible. Even more daunting is the team's schedule. Jim Litke of the Associated Press explains:

"When Texas College revived its program in 2003 after a 40-year hiatus, the administration signed on to compete in the small-school NAIA, the lowest rung on the college football ladder. But for reasons the new coach and his just-arrived athletic director are still trying to figure out, Carson's predecessor, Jay Brown, left behind a schedule that included three Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) and one Division II opponent in the Steers' first five games.

"That's like a middleweight trying to make a living on a steady diet of light heavies and cruiserweights. And just like that boxer, Texas College is on the ropes."
