Johnny White's injury sends Tar Heels looking for answers in the backfield

Posted Nov 8, 2010
When Johnny White broke his right clavicle in the win against Florida State, the Tar Heels not only lost their top running back for the remainder of the season but now also face a tough decision regarding the redshirt of another tailback. White's injury leaves open the possibility that senior Ryan Houston, who led UNC in rushing a year ago, could make his season debut against Virginia Tech on Saturday to help a thin backfield.
