Shaun Draughn back in lineup, but Johnny White breaks out

Posted Sep 19, 2010
Running back Shaun Draughn returned to UNC's lineup after sitting out the season-opener against LSU because of the ongoing investigation into agents and academics, but the senior's return was overshadowed by the record-setting day of another tailback. Senior Johnny White, who got the start over Draughn, ran for 113 yards on 17 carries, topping his previous high of 92 yards on 18 carries against Maryland in 2007. (Durham Herald-Sun)
