Virginia Stuns No. 8 Florida State in Double Overtime as Morris Scores Five TDs

A rapid field storm raised safety questions that likely activate the ACC’s new $50,000 penalty.

Overview

  • Chandler Morris ran for the go-ahead 4-yard score in 2OT and hit Trell Harris for the conversion, finishing with three rushing and two passing touchdowns.
  • Duce Robinson’s apparent tying TD was overturned on review for loss of control, and Ja’Son Prevard intercepted Tommy Castellanos on fourth-and-12 to end the game.
  • Virginia initially sent out its field-goal unit in the second overtime before the play clock was reset, avoiding a delay-of-game despite the mandatory two-point rule, a sequence drawing officiating scrutiny.
  • Fans surged onto the field within seconds; ESPN and witnesses reported at least one fan taken off on a stretcher and others treated, while FSU’s Mike Norvell said players reached the locker room without reported injuries.
  • Virginia improved to 4-1 (2-0 ACC) with its first home win over a top-10 foe since 2005; Florida State fell to 3-1 (0-1) ahead of next week’s rivalry game against Miami.
