Vets Can Laugh Now At Freshman Transition

Posted Aug 19, 2008

Ryan Houston was one of the only freshmen not to have suffered a `welcome to college' type of hit in camp [last year]. None of his teammates had put a solid hit on the big, bruising former 270-pound back in practice; doing so would have put their own bodies in jeopardy. In his first game at South Florida, however, consensus All-American defensive end George Selvie had no such problem. (Tar Heel Blue)
