CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Chandler Morris scored on a 4-yard run in the second overtime and Virginia beat No. 8 Florida State 46-38 on Friday night for its first home victory over a top 10 team since also beating the Seminoles in 2005.
Morris ran for three scores and had two touchdown passes for the Cavaliers (4-1, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference). After the go-ahead TD run, he completed a pass to Trell Harris for a 2-point conversion.
Florida State (3-1, 0-1) had a chance to tie, but Duce Robinson bobbled a pass going out the back of the end zone on third down. On fourth-and-12 at the 27, Tommy Castellanos' heave into the end zone was intercepted by Ja'son Prevard, and Cavaliers fans instantly stormed the field.
While no players or coaches were apparently injured, witnesses saw at least one fan being taken off the field on a stretcher and at least a dozen others being tended to by stadium personnel.
Seminoles coach Mike Norvell said he believed all of his players were unharmed in the postgame chaos, adding, "We got everybody in the locker room."
Virginia coach Tony Elliott said he regretted being unable to speak to Norvell and Florida State players after the game.
"I hope that nobody got injured," Elliott said. "You don't want to see that. I hate that I didn't get a chance to go shake Coach Norvell's hand, because I've got a tremendous amount of respect for him and what he's done with that program."
Over the summer the ACC instituted a new policy that fines schools for field and basketball court stormings. The first occurrence results in a $50,000 fine, the second $100,000 and the third offense or more over a two-year rolling period will be a $200,000 fine.
Florida State rallied to force overtime, with Castellanos throwing an 11-yard touchdown to Randy Pittman Jr. on a fourth-down play with 32 seconds left. The teams traded field goals in the first overtime.
Robinson caught nine passes for 147 yards and a touchdown, and Castellanos threw for 254 and a score and ran for another 78 yards and a touchdown.
J'Mari Taylor ran for 99 yards and a score as Virginia's run game ate up the clock in the second half.
Virginia turned a pair of first-quarter takeaways into touchdowns and an early 14-0 lead, but Florida State stormed back to go ahead 21-14 at the half, fueled by two interceptions. The teams were tied at 21 at halftime and 28 after three quarters.
Florida State's season opened with such promise when it upset Alabama. But after a pair of blowout wins over lesser opponents, the Seminoles couldn't start ACC play with a victory.
Virginia picked up the most significant victory for the program since it ended the 2019 regular season with a win over rival Virginia Tech.
