Virginia Defensive End on UNC: 'Even if they come out swinging, we know they can’t sustain it'

Posted Sep 14, 2021
Virginia senior defensive end Mandy Alonso said his team knows what to expect from UNC. "They always try to come physical. It’s our culture versus theirs. We’re going to go harder, longer each play and the whole game than they will. Even if they come out swinging, we know they can’t sustain it, because the past four years, they haven’t been able to."
