UNC trying to avoid fourth-straight loss

Posted Sep 28, 2007

Bruising freshman running back Ryan Houston will see some action in the game, and it will be up to him and redshirt freshman Johnny White to try to get the ground game rolling for the first time this season. While their first two losses were by a combined five points, the Tar Heels were spanked by South Florida last weekend. With three very difficult games ahead, the team runs the risk of having the season spiral out of control. (Daily Tar Heel)
