UNC fans call for more Ryan Houston at running back
Posted Oct 5, 2009
There's a portion of North Carolina's fan base calling for more of running back Ryan Houston and less of Shaun Draughn. Houston's limited rushing numbers, three carries for 16 yards, and downhill style suggest he could be more effective than shifty Draughn, who had 14 carries for 25 yards. But there's more to playing running back than running the ball.
