Ryan Houston pounds opposition
Posted Nov 9, 2008
North Carolina reached back into the Eisenhower years and pulled out dark blue jerseys yesterday. Georgia Tech reached back into the Nixon years and whipped out the option offense. With everything turning retro and a single touchdown separating the two ACC title contenders, the Tar Heels turned to 242-pound tailback Ryan Houston. In the old days, a sportswriter named Hunter S. Thompson would have crowned him king of the jackhammer thrust.
