Posted Nov 8, 2009
Junior Shaun Draughn, North Carolina's leading rusher, broke his left shoulder blade on the first play of the game Saturday against Duke and will miss the rest of the season. Ryan Houston replaced him in the 19-6 victory and ran for a career-high 164 yards on 37 carries. The rushing attempts were the most by a North Carolina player since 1990. (Charlotte Observer)
