"Doesn't matter who we're playing, and we're prepared to win a one-score game in the fourth quarter.”
“There is nobody on our roster that is more competitive than Antonio Clary,” Elliott said.
It’s hard to say there has ever been more on the line for Virginia football than what this program fought for and won Saturday night.
“We compete with each other every week … we’re good friends,” Robinson said. “Going to the game, we'll just compete with each other, asking each other, like, ‘Who gonna make that play? Who will make it first?’”
“We need to perform as if we’re playing a national championship every single game,” Neal said. "That way we’ll be at our best when our best is required.”
“We played with fire, right? And we got burned,” Coach Tony Elliott said.
Virginia remains undefeated in conference play at the end of its cross-country trip and rises to 8-1 — the program’s highest win total in six years.
It has been six years since Virginia’s football, men’s soccer, women’s soccer and field hockey programs have been ranked simultaneously.
These defenses may, understandably, have a tough time sleeping at night — there is plenty to fear about the four horsemen.
”Your record halfway through the season doesn’t matter,” Elliott said. “Now it’s okay, yeah, it’s game seven. But really, I need day one energy and day one focus.”
