Ryan Houston back for final run with Tar Heels

Posted Aug 31, 2011
Ryan Houston hasn't played a game in 20 months and has barely practiced with any contact through the preseason. Yet the fifth-year senior is ready to take the lead in North Carolina's running attack. Houston has been a nearly unstoppable short-yardage and goal-line finisher for the Tar Heels and has proven he can carry a heavy workload. Now he’s the starter for Saturday’s opener against James Madison. (ABC 11)
