Hood's hatred of being tackled helps him get to the goal line

Posted Oct 27, 2015
Elijah Hood had a career-high 21 carries in UNC’s 26-13 win against Virginia Saturday. Hood’s two rushing touchdowns against the Cavaliers contributed to him being the Tar Heels’ leading scorer this season with eight touchdowns. That team-leading title and the sophomore’s increasing role in UNC's offense are nice, but every run that doesn’t end in a score ends in a moment Hood hates. (WRAL Sports Fan)
