Virginia Stuns No. 8 Florida State in Double Overtime, 46-38

Chandler Morris delivered five touchdowns to cap Virginia’s first home win over a top‑10 foe since 2005.

Overview

  • Virginia opened the second overtime with Morris’ 4-yard touchdown run and a mandatory two-point conversion to go up 46-38.
  • Florida State’s apparent tying touchdown to Duce Robinson was overturned on replay, and Tommy Castellanos’ next throw was intercepted as fans flooded the field.
  • Despite outgaining Virginia 514-440, Florida State’s early fumble and interception helped stake the Cavaliers to a 14-0 lead that shaped the night.
  • Morris accounted for five total touchdowns as Virginia improved to 4-1 overall and 2-0 in the ACC, dropping Florida State to 3-1 and 0-1 in league play.
  • Postgame fallout is developing, with reports pointing to a potential $50,000 ACC fine for the field storm and scrutiny of an overtime sequence in which Virginia initially sent out its field-goal unit before the required two-point try.
