ESPN cameras caught the events as they unfolded, with a sea of navy-and-orange fans rushing the field after defensive back Ja'Son Prevard sealed the game with an interception of Thomas Castellanos. The fans also engulfed at least twoFlorida Stateplayers as they rushed the field, including receiverSquirrel White, who was the intended target on the game-sealing interception.
The ACC has updated its event security policy in the case of a field-storming, ruling that the offending program will owe $50,000 as a first-time offender to the updated policy. The money associated with the Sept. 26 game will not go toFlorida State, but instead will be donated the ACC's scholarship fund.
