End zone eludes Shaun Draughn, but that's OK
Posted Nov 21, 2008
Coaches and broadcasters call it the Red Zone. For Shaun Draughn, it might as well be the Dead Zone. The UNC running back gets a prickly feeling on the back of his neck as soon he carries the ball deep into opposing territory. The closer it gets to the goal line, the more likely Draughn is to be watching from the sideline as Ryan Houston finishes the job. Over the past six weeks, he has carried the ball 114 times. Only one of those reached the end zone.
