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

Quarterback Chandler Morris accounted for five touchdowns in UVA's first top-10 home win at Scott Stadium since 2005.

Overview

  • A reviewed third-down catch to Florida State’s Duce Robinson was overturned for lack of control, and Ja'Son Prevard intercepted the fourth-down heave to end the game.
  • In the second overtime, Virginia briefly sent on its kicking unit before officials reset the play clock; no delay-of-game was enforced, and the Cavaliers then hit the required two-point pass to Trell Harris.
  • Thousands of fans rushed the field immediately after the clinching interception; the ACC’s new policy is expected to fine Virginia $50,000, and witnesses reported at least one fan taken off on a stretcher.
  • Mike Norvell said the defeat was not the result of looking ahead to Miami, as Florida State fell to 3-1 (0-1 ACC) and now has less margin for error in the conference race.
  • Morris ran for three scores and threw two TDs, J’Mari Taylor added 99 rushing yards, and FSU’s Tommy Castellanos totaled 332 yards with two turnovers while Robinson posted 9 receptions for 147 yards and a score.
