A statement win on the road is sweet. Trolling your opponent afterward is even sweeter.
Florida and its head coach, Jon Sumrall, got to experience both Saturday, as the Gators went into Austin and beat No. 7 Texas 27-24. Tramell Jones Jr., making his first career start, completed 22 of 35 attempts for 155 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns, and a late fumble recovery by Florida sealed the win.
After the upset, Sumrall was evidently in a celebratory — and fashionable — mood. The coach donned a cowboy hat fit for a Texan while striding through the hallways of Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.

Sumrall’s style choice wasn’t the only troll from this week in college football. Here are the top jabs from Week 7.
A top-ten clash in Provo delivered a thriller of a finish, with the game coming down to the final play. Should pass interference have been called on BYU? You make the call. Did Notre Dame still have one more second to run another play? Seems like it. But the moment came and went regardless, and the Cougars earned a huge victory.
The Big 12 did some trolling on BYU’s behalf after the game, posting a graphic referencing the Irish opting out of a potential bowl matchup with the Cougars, captioning the post “shamrocked.”

Auburn pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the season Saturday, shocking No. 1 Georgia in Athens. Keyed by Byrum Brown, who threw for 150 yards and ran for 115 more, and a clutch walk-off field goal by Alex McPherson, the Tigers earned the upset … and delivered a troll to match.
The Tigers referenced Georgia’s bulldog mascot with their postgame caption, using an “all bark, no bite” line.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a team that handled a top-15 clash with more effectiveness than Ole Miss this week, with the Rebels — powered by Trinidad Chambliss‘ four total touchdowns — scoring 31 unanswered points against Missouri to earn a comprehensive victory.
Tacking on a troll afterward for good measure, Ole Miss took to social media with a rhyme scheme that cued up a “caught the Tigers” boast.
Eenie, meenie, miney, moe…
Caught the Tigers, sent them home 😮💨 https://t.co/yCIbPEQOQe

For the 18th consecutive year, Kansas State came out on top in the Sunflower Showdown, extending a recent run of dominance over in-state rivals Kansas with a streak-extending victory in Manhattan. The Wildcats outgained the Jayhawks 568-319 in the win, outscoring their opponents 28-7 during the final three quarters.
Kansas State opted for a simple but effective cross-state rivalry-themed troll after the game, posting an “OUR STATE” graphic with the letter O replaced by an outline of Kansas.
EIGHTEEN. STRAIGHT.

With both teams combining for 953 yards of total offense, Appalachian State had just enough extra juice to come out on top. A run of 21 unanswered points stretching from halftime until three minutes left in the fourth quarter made the difference for the Mountaineers, as Coastal Carolina‘s final touchdown wasn’t enough.
The Chanticleers were wearing their ’90s uniforms, and Appalachian State jabbed at their attire with a postgame graphic and caption referencing the 1996 classic “Jerry Maguire.”

Georgia Southern posted 405 total yards of offense in its Thursday night win over Old Dominion, 272 of which came through the air via an unusually distributed passing game — four players completed at least one pass for the Eagles, though Turner Helton did the lion’s share of the work with 205 passing yards on 30 attempts.
After the win, Georgia Southern captioned its final-score post with the line “Long May We Reign,” a reference to Old Dominion’s Monarch mascot.
Long May We Reign 👑

East Carolina raced out to an early two-touchdown lead, but UAB laughed last — despite having never led at any point in regulation. The Blazers opened overtime with a score, and then a Delvon Gulley pick-six on the Pirates’ ensuing overtime possession gave UAB an unlikely 13-point win. The margin of victory tied for the largest in an overtime game in FBS history, according to ESPN Research.
The Blazers took aim at East Carolina’s pirate moniker with a graphic that featured buried-treasure-style golden coins, with the most prominent coin simply marked “W.”
A NICE, SHINY W‼️

Tuesday night college football didn’t disappoint this week, as Middle Tennessee topped Delaware in a back-and-forth game. Blue Raiders quarterback Roman Gagliano threw for 291 yards and three passing touchdowns — the most important of which being a game-winning connection with Neo Clifton with three minutes remaining — to go with a rushing score in the victory.
Middle Tennessee’s jab at its fowl-mascoted foe used the tagline “Plucked” with a graphic that featured an imposing horse’s hoof sending feathers scattering.

Another Tuesday night troll was delivered by Jacksonville State, which downed FIU at home to move to 5-2 this season. Caden Creel paced the Gamecocks’ offense with 214 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns to go with 95 rushing yards. Garrison Rippa hit a 26-yard field goal with less than a minute remaining to secure the win.
Jacksonville State referenced FIU’s mascot after the game, posting a graphic of a caged panther accompanied by a “WASTED” caption, referencing the “Grand Theft Auto” video game series and FIU’s “Vice U” tagline.
