When he’s done with his usual Saturday gig as the featured running back for North Carolina, Shaun Draughn loves nothing more than to spend the rest of his weekend, sitting back and watching other people play football. But after the Tar Heels suffered their first loss of the season on Saturday — a rain-soaked 24-7 clunker at Georgia Tech — Draughn was in no mood to do much of anything. (Burlington Times News)
