UNC RB Elijah Hood Taking Tackles Personally

Posted Oct 19, 2015
During UNC’s lopsided victory over N.C. A&T on Sept. 12, running back Elijah Hood was dropped for a short gain by a single Aggies defender. Not long after, Marquise Williams pulled Hood aside on the Tar Heel sideline and chewed on him a bit, as the fifth-year senior quarterback likes to say. “One man should not ever bring you down. I never saw it in high school, so I shouldn’t see it now.” (Inside Carolina)
