In a stunning turn of events on Friday night, the University of Virginia beat No. 8 Florida State, 46-38, in double overtime.

With the game at Scott Stadium in Charlottesville, the Cavaliers fans immediately stormed the field following the upset.

The game was a back-and-forth thriller, ending with an interception from Florida State QB Tommy Castellanos to Ja’Son Prevard of Virginia.

The scene turned electric as supporters surged onto the field just moments after the decisive interception, engulfing the players and coaches in a jubilant celebration. Amidst the revelry, one enthusiastic fan was even spotted gesturing at Castellanos while rejoicing in Virginia’s triumph.

At least one UVA supporter climbed one of the goal posts in celebration.

Under ACC field-storming rules, Virginia will owe $50,000 as a first-time offender to the Weaver-James-Corrigan-Swofford Postgraduate Scholarship.

Virginia quarterback Chandler Morris had himself a day.

Castellanos tallied five touchdowns, with none more critical than his third rushing score, a game-winning four-yard touchdown run during the second overtime. This was followed by a successful two-point conversion pass to Trell Harris, clinching the victory for Virginia.

Meanwhile, running back J’Mari Taylor bolstered Morris’ efforts with an impressive 99 rushing yards and a touchdown. The defense also played a pivotal role by making a crucial stand in the second overtime to ensure the win.

Xavier Brown added 60 rushing yards in the win.

Virginia now stands at 4-1 on the young college football season, and is just one win away from its entire total from 2024, when the Cavaliers finished 5-7.

Virginia hasn’t had a winning season since 2019 and hasn’t appeared in a bowl game since 2021.

Florida State’s now 3-1 and will undoubtedly drop from their top-10 ranking following the upset.
