Shaun Draughn has settled in as the feature back, while Ryan Houston has become the epitome of a short-yardage specialist. Behind that duo, the Tar Heels rushed for a season-best 186 yards and a 4.4-yard per carry average against Georgia Tech on Saturday. So it only made sense that Houston – all 241 pounds of him – adorned eye black that read “Thunder,” and Draughn countered with “Lightning” on his cheek during the 28-7 victory over the Yellow Jackets.
