Pitt's Alexandre doing good work on and off the field

"We want to win every game." Pitt senior defensive end Deslin Alexandre made that statement twice today during a brief five minute interview. For the Panthers to achieve that lofty goal, Alexandre will need to continue to lead the way.

Entering his sixth season with the Panthers, the Pompano Beach, Florida native was selected as a team captain last year and he responded with his best season as a Panther. He compiled 41 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks, including a season high 6 tackles against Wake Forest in the ACC Championship game. For Alexandre, the key to his and the team's success lies in the details.
