No. 21 UNC routs The Citadel 40-6

Posted Sep 5, 2009
North Carolina built its identity the past few years around three star receivers. During their first game without them, the Tar Heels wound up defining themselves by their ability to run - and to stop The Citadel from doing so. Shaun Draughn rushed for 118 yards, Ryan Houston had two short touchdown runs and No. 21 North Carolina had its best rushing game under coach Butch Davis during a 40-6 rout of the Bulldogs on Saturday night.
