Virginia Football news and notes before facing No. 15 North Carolina

The Virginia Cavaliers welcome No. 15 North Carolina to Scott Stadium on Saturday evening, and head coach Bronco Mendenhall met with the media Monday to discuss the Hoos’ loss at Miami and the upcoming challenge against the Heels. Virginia shot themselves in the foot several times against the Hurricanes, falling 19-14 in a frustrating game over the weekend. Despite the Cavaliers’ 1-4 record, Mendenhall remains high on his team. “I told the team this morning this, this is one of the toughest teams I’ve ever coached. I mean they are so physically tough, but also mentally tough.”
