Week 11 in college football not only brought big wins and big upsets. It also brought quality trolls from around the country.
The No. 20-ranked Colorado Buffaloes have undergone a complete turnaround, winning their seventh game of the season — their most victories since 2016 — on Saturday.
Colorado’s latest triumph came against the Texas Tech Red Raiders on the road. The Red Raiders took a 13-0 lead, but the Buffaloes stormed back to win 41-27. Shedeur Sanders threw for 291 yards and three touchdowns, while Travis Hunter continued his Heisman Trophy hopes with nine receptions for 99 yards and a score.
Of course, Texas Tech’s tortilla-throwing tradition continued for this matchup — but it backfired in the end. Sanders performed with the Red Raiders band and signed one of the remaining tortillas.
No. 2-ranked Ohio State didn’t allow Purdue to get on the board Saturday, shutting out their Big Ten foe in a 45-0 win to move to 8-1 this season.
Ohio State quarterback Will Howard led the way with three touchdown passes and a rushing score. Jeremiah Smith also made history, breaking the Ohio State freshman touchdown record with a 17-yard touchdown in the first half.
The victory led Ohio State to troll its opponent on social media with a graphic that mocked Purdue’s Boilermaker mascot.
Georgia Tech’s first upset of the season against Florida State wasn’t enough. Against undefeated Miami, Georgia Tech was looking to make a statement that could lead to bowl eligibility.
Georgia Tech trailed only once in the game to the fourth-ranked Hurricanes in the first quarter, but once the Yellow Jackets regained the lead, they kept their foot on the gas to a 28-23 upset victory.
After stunning Miami, Georgia Tech posted a final score graphic with the caption “U better believe it!” mocking the Miami slogan of “U gotta believe.”
Texas State jumped to an early 28-0 first-half lead over UL Monroe. Led by backup quarterback Brad Jackson‘s 126 rushing yards for two touchdowns, the Bobcats took down the Warhawks 38-17.
Afterward, Texas State’s social media page captioned its final score post “Flight has been canceled,” making fun of their opponents’ avian mascot.
Alabama State held an early 10-point lead over Grambling. However, Grambling regrouped its way back into the game with 14 fourth-quarter points to take a one-point lead in crunch time. Alabama State had a chance to take the lead in the final moments with a 28-yard field goal attempt from kicker Brandon Gilliam, but it was off target.
Grambling ran with the win, trolling the Hornets saying they were “all talk, no sting.”
Prairie View A&M had just begun to find its groove with a two-game winning streak. Led by running back Lamagea McDowell‘s two touchdowns, the Panthers found a way to stunt the Rattlers 31-12.
Reciting Samuel L. Jackson’s lines in the movie “Snakes on a Plane,” the Panthers posted a graphic of a zookeeper containing a rattler snake with the caption: “Enough is enough! We’ve had enough with these snakes on this Hill!”
In-state rivalries can go only so far. Jackson State is currently sitting atop the SWAC East division, remaining undefeated in conference play after a 51-14 rout over Mississippi Valley State.
Jackson State trolled its fellow SWAC foe and Mississippi rival as its little brother.
After Georgia struck first with a touchdown in the opening minutes, the only thing Ole Miss needed was an opportunity on which to capitalize. The Rebels continued to widen the gap against Georgia after gaining a slight lead in the fourth quarter. They would amass 199 passing yards led by quarterback Jaxson Dart to a 28-10 upset win.
Georgia, who cryptically made a “final” post on social media, didn’t include the score. Ole Miss retweeted the post with a photo of viral sensation “The Rizzler.”
