UNC's Elijah Hood, Pitt's James Conner ready to square off

Posted Sep 23, 2016
On Saturday, two of the ACC’s best running backs will finally get the chance to square off against one another. Both players are coming off 100-yard efforts last week. Both are the backbone to their team’s rushing attack. Elijah Hood doesn’t know which back will have a better day. He plans to do his job, just like he knows James Conner will for the Panthers.
