In this episode of Saturday vs Sunday, we break down Virginia’s stunning overtime upset of Florida State — a game that showed the Cavaliers are for real. Chandler Morris was the story, accounting for five total touchdowns (and nearly six if not for a called-back run) while proving he’s one of the most dangerous red zone quarterbacks in the ACC. He combined smart passing with timely rushing, including option plays where he walked untouched into the end zone.
We dive into how both teams were perfectly balanced offensively — Virginia with 211 rushing and 229 passing yards, Florida State with an even 258 through the air and 256 on the ground. This wasn’t an upset caused by luck; it was a heavyweight fight between two even teams trading big shots all night. Key fourth-down conversions, bruising runs from Jamari Taylor, and a clean, physical performance by Virginia’s offensive line set the tone.
While FSU put up 500 yards and nearly pulled it out in overtime, Virginia simply made one more stop. For a Cavaliers program that has endured plenty, including last year’s tragedy, this win felt massive. With Morris leading the way, UVA suddenly looks like a real contender in the ACC.
