It’s pretty hard to imagine a better scenario for North Carolina’s rushing offense.
Junior running back Elijah Hood is a formidable force by himself. He ran for 1,463 yards on 219 carries in 2015 — the third-highest yardage total in the ACC and second-best in UNC history.
“I feel like I’ve just started,” Hood said. “I’ve got more.”
People are already talking about the preseason All-ACC player, who enters his second season as a starter. How could they not? The 6-foot, 220-pound back from Charlotte averaged 6.7 yards per carry and scored 17 touchdowns in his sophomore season.
