CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Elijah Hood ran the ball with a tackler-punishing ferocity to put together one of the best statistical seasons in North Carolina history and make him one of the Atlantic Coast Conferences elite runners.Yet Hood is thinking as much about all the little mistakes he saw on his game film, the ones hes determined to correct this fall to have an even bigger season.I know for a fact I couldve done more, Hood said in an interview with The Associated Press. Ive looked at it on film. There were runs I left out there. Particularly, I counted like six touchdowns that I left on my own where I should have just stuck my foot in the ground . instead of getting tackled sideways and getting stopped at the 3 or something.The 6-foot, 220-pound tailback from Charlotte ranked third in the ACC with 1,463 yards rushing and second with 17 rushing touchdowns as a sophomore, and he averaged 6.7 yards on his roughly 16 carries per game. Those season totals ranked in the top three of UNCs single-season history, too.Yet Hood has spent the offseason preparing to fix mistakes that include misreading a running lane, missing a block or being a bit too impatient to let the play develop more fully. The first chance comes Sept. 3 against Georgia in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in Atlanta.Its kind of like, `All right, that was good, but you still can do more, Hood said. Never cut yourself short. Live to the fullest ability that you possibly can. And if you dont, youre not putting your best foot forward, youre not truly showing what kind of football player you can be.If you rush for 150 yards but you shouldve had 250 yards, thats an OK day for you, but you shouldve had a great day.Hoods mother, Melica, said its an approach her son takes throughout his life, whether on the field or in the classroom as a two-time all-ACC academic pick and Eagle Scout. UNC running backs coach Larry Porter sees it, too, describing Hood as a very cerebral, very detail-oriented guy.Elijahs always the type of person who will go back over everything he does, Melica Hood said. Hes hard on himself. He will pick apart everything and is always striving to do better. Hes probably going to be that way pretty much about everything no matter what he does. Hes meticulous.Hood had eight 100-yard games that included a career-high 220 yards and two touchdowns against rival North Carolina State. That helped the Tar Heels match a program record with 11 wins while winning the leagues Coastal Division title to reach the ACC championship game, losing to then-No. 1 and eventual College Football Playoff runner-up Clemson.Just as importantly, he provided an edge to a high-scoring offense with a physical style rooted in his early years in football. Nicknamed Big Hot as a baby because of his size -- and the fact his parents carried a fan with them nearly everywhere to keep him from crying -- Hood played first on the defensive line and then at linebacker while sometimes matching up against older kids before moving to running back by high school.Years later, Hood still loves delivering hits.He can wear down guys because he really doesnt like to get tackled, head coach Larry Fedora said. He runs violently -- its the best term Ive come up with -- so when he is being tackled, hes trying to punish the tackler. Thats something he is very aware of: Hes going to make sure that guy knows that he tackled Elijah Hood.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap and the APs college football site at http://collegefootball.ap.orgAir Max 97 Noir Pas Cher .

For the first time in Worlds history, three South Korean teams will be playing in the semifinals. After years and years of domination of the game, this is the crowning moment for the region, sending all of its representatives to the final four without being close to elimination in the quarterfinals.The ROX Tigers showcased their fangs on Saturday night, overwhelming Chinas champion EDward Gaming in four games to take the series in convincing fashion. While the two other South Korean clubs in the semifinals, Samsung Galaxy and SK Telecom T1, are cautious counter-punchers, ROX is a team that flips the switch on in the mid game and never looks back. Although ROX can also be considered a counter-attack team by sometimes falling behind in the laning phase before galvanizing around the 15-minute mark, the Tigers dont play a methodical style. When the Tigers counter-attack, its like an avalanche of punches roaring down atop the suffocated opponent.Samsung likes to counter, teamfight and find the cleanest route to victory. SKT T1 counters and play at a tempo where you can almost find yourself bored with how much control it has over the game.When ROX finds an opening, an opportunity to pounce, its lights out for the other team for all intents and purposes. The South Korean domestic champion will throw everything and everyone in waves of dives and pressure across the map.The first two games against EDG were par the course for ROX. It got ahead through smart roams annd ganks heading into the mid game, and it didnt stop putting on the pressure until the gold lead and objective deficit were too much for the Chinese champion to come back from.ddddddddddddIn the third set, the Tigers, laughing in their seats, went for a more lax drafting style, putting ace top laner Song Smeb Kyung-ho on a stylish individual pick instead of something that could have secured them a simple 3-0 sweep. ROX didnt pick a composition with waveclear or any momentum if it fell down early, and EDG was able to punish ROX for playing with its food and push it to a fourth map.On that fourth map, it was back to business for the Tigers. Han Peanut Wang-ho was gifted Olaf for the first time in the series, and the technical jungler was able to take over with his immense pressure in the early game. He ended the game with 11 kills, 0 deaths and a clear victory over the man who was considered his biggest competition for best jungler at Worlds, namely Ming Clearlove Kai. It was a resounding knockout for Peanut and the Tigers as a whole as they stamped their flight tickets to New York City for next weekends clash with rival SK Telecom T1.South Korea as a region is now 24-6 through the first two rounds of the tournament. No other region as a whole (counting CIS and Brazil together as the Wildcard region) is even batting .500 so far. ' ' '
