Ryan Houston eager to ditch orange jersey

Posted Aug 15, 2011
North Carolina tailback Ryan Houston continues to wear a precautionary orange don’t-hit-me jersey in practice, but said he can’t wait to take it off. “So eager, I just can’t wait to go to my metal locker and see, ‘blue jersey!’” Houston, a redshirt senior, said today. “Know what I’m saying? I just can’t wait for the day. It [will] be like Christmas, whenever they give me that blue jersey.” (Raleigh News & Observer)
