'A coach's dream:' running back Elijah Hood returns smarter, faster

Posted Aug 16, 2015
“My concern with Elijah Hood is how hard he practices every day. Every single day,” Larry Fedora said. “I’ve got to make sure that however he plays on September 3 (against South Carolina), he’s still playing that way in that first weekend in December. We have got to do a great job of managing him. He is a coach’s dream on the way he practices, no doubt about it.” (Daily Tar Heel)
