Heels find some 'Thunder'
Posted Nov 13, 2008
Ryan Houston's favorite feeling is lining up 2 yards from the goal line, staring down his panting opposition, and then barreling through them to score. "It's just a lot of pride, because everyone down there is counting on me to get in there,'' he said. Houston has done that seven times this year -- all within 3 yards. But it was his hulking "Thunder" to speedy starter Shaun Draughn's "Lightning" that may have proven he can be more than a short-yardage back.
