Virginia Upsets No. 8 Florida State in Double OT

News summary

Unranked Virginia stunned No. 8 Florida State 46-38 in double overtime Friday at Scott Stadium, earning its first home win over a Top‑10 opponent since 2005. Quarterback Chandler Morris accounted for five touchdowns (three rushing, two passing), capped by a 4‑yard TD run and a successful 2‑point conversion in the second overtime. Virginia’s run game and early turnovers put the Cavaliers in control, and Ja'Son Prevard intercepted Tommy Castellanos' final heave to end Florida State's comeback. Florida State rallied late — Tommy Castellanos finished with 254 passing yards and a rushing score and Duce Robinson had nine catches for 147 yards — but Robinson bobbled a potential tying catch in the second overtime. The teams combined for roughly 954 total yards in a wild game that ended with Cavaliers fans storming the field. The loss drops Florida State to 3‑1 (0‑1 ACC) and hands Virginia a 4‑1 (2‑0 ACC) start; the Seminoles now turn attention to a must‑win home showdown with No. 6 Miami on Oct. 4.
