Heels ride Ryan Houston to victory against Duke

Posted Nov 7, 2009
Tailback Ryan Houston, filling in for an injured Shaun Draughn rushed for a career-high 164 yards, while Carolina's defense kept one of the nation's top-passing offenses out of the end zone for the first time all season. It was a win that both teams needed to keep momentum going, UNC following a big win at Virginia Tech, and the Blue Devils coming to Kenan Stadium riding a three-game win streak. (Carolina Blue)
