Ryan Houston will start at tailback for UNC
Posted Aug 29, 2011
Redshirt senior Ryan Houston, limited to non-contact drills during training camp because of an off-season shoulder surgery, has said all month he would be ready for North Carolina’s opener against James Madison. He’s so ready, he will start Saturday. Interim coach Everett Withers said Monday that the 6-feet-2, 245-pound bruiser from Charlotte has earned the opening nod because of his experience.
