Heels' Houston solid in debut

Posted Sep 25, 2007

North Carolina desperately needs a running back who can add punch to a stagnant rushing attack. Ryan Houston is applying for the job. Houston, a freshman tailback, made his UNC debut Saturday in a 37-10 loss to South Florida in Tampa. He didn’t play until late in the third quarter but his 43 yards on 11 carries were the most by a Tar Heel, and he scored North Carolina’s only touchdown. (Winston-Salem Journal)
