Florida State’s wide receiver Squirrel White is doing okay after facing a tense moment during the post-game celebration at Scott Stadium on Friday night.
White was the intended target for a pass that led to an interception, sealing a surprising victory for Virginia against eighth-ranked Florida State, and he was quickly engulfed by the crowd.
This situation raised some worries about his well-being, but it turned out those fears were unfounded.
According to reports, White made it to the locker room without any issues amid the chaos surrounding the field.
The game itself was an exhilarating 46-38 double overtime victory, marking a memorable moment for Virginia football in recent years.
However, the post-game field storm overshadowed the game, causing concerns about the rush of fans onto the field.
Virginia, having violated ACC field-storming rules, faced a $50,000 penalty from the conference.
After improving to a 4-1 record, the school seems ready to cover the cost.
This is the Cavaliers’ first winning season since 2019, although they did participate in a bowl game in 2021.
Quarterback Chandler Morris had an outstanding performance, recording five total touchdowns, including a crucial run in overtime that secured the win, followed by a successful two-point conversion.
The defense then intercepted Thomas Castellanos on a fourth-and-12, sealing the victory and sparking celebrations in Charlottesville.
Florida State now stands at 3-1, with their ranking expected to drop come Monday.
