Tar Heels' Shaun Draughn aiming for 1,000-yard mark
Posted Aug 8, 2009
Having a running back that rushes for 1,000 yards in a season is still a significant achievement to North Carolina coach Butch Davis. "I think it absolutely is a benchmark, and I think it's probably even more significant on the collegiate level because it's more difficult (to do),'' Davis said Friday as the Tar Heels opened preseason training camp for the 2009 season.
