Elijah Hood bears bigger burden in UNC football victory

Posted Oct 26, 2015
So far in 2015, Elijah Hood has displayed a physical running style. More often than not it has taken a host of defenders to bring him down — Saturday was no different. Hood was tackled behind the line of scrimmage just twice against the Cavaliers, and when he was able to get a head of steam, he made Virginia players pay — electing to make contact with a defender rather than going out of bounds.
