No. 17 Tar Heels have running attack moving well

Posted Nov 11, 2008
Ryan Houston can't help but tease Shaun Draughn a little bit that North Carolina's starting running back had better have some long runs if he wants to find the end zone. "Every time he breaks a long one, I'm like, 'You better score, because you know if it gets to the goalline, I'm going to get a touchdown,'" Houston said with a chuckle. That plan is working perfectly these days for the 17th-ranked Tar Heels. (WRAL Sports Fan)
