    It's not even a change in the first place though, except that they wore navy pants and jerseys at the same time. Navy is an original Tar Heel color. Even Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice wore Navy jerseys in the 50's.

    true, and even had i saw that - it wouldnt have been a surprise because they do so (navy on navy) at some point each year.
    its really not a big deal, and if this were the panthers or any of the nfl teams all anyone would say is its an attempt to sale more merchandise.

    I hate to hear about Shaun Draughn. Hate to see him miss the season due to an injury, even if it is UNC.

    Houston did well against a good defensive line and Duke.

    Houston did great but the Heels are now down three running backs (Draughn, Blue and Womble). Not much backing up Houston now. Elzy and White (who never has done well at RB). I know Little can line up there but I like the way they've used him at receiver.

    Elzy is actually pretty capable, especially catching the ball our of the backfield, and Johnny White at least has some speed. I think they will be OK as long as they don't lose Houston. I'm more worried about the passing game anyway. They still have a lot of work to do on that passing attack, or lack thereof.

    The running game was mediocre at best before the injury knocked out Droughn. Now it's poor to terrible. Houston can pound it near the goal line but remember that 100+ yards was against Dook.

    houston hasnt had 20-30 carries in a game - maybe as the feature he will show himself.

    Reach much? They've only played one game since Draughn went out. And it happened to be the best rushing game the team has had all season. Yeah I know - it was dook. But it was also done behind the same sucky offensive line they've had all year. Houston is much more than a goal line back. I think he should have been the starter all year. My biggest concern is
    there is no more depth with three tailbacks now done for the season.
