Ole Miss’s move at Oklahoma leads Week 9’s top college football trolls

When you boost your College Football Playoff hopes with a big conference win on the road, a postgame troll is justified.

Ole Miss achieved such a feat Saturday with its 34-26 victory over Oklahoma, and then poured some salt into the Sooners’ wound.

A balanced Rebel attack racked up 431 yards against Oklahoma’s impressive defense in the victory, with quarterback Trinidad Chambliss throwing for 314 yards and running back Kewan Lacy scoring two touchdowns. Ole Miss outscored Oklahoma 9-0 in the fourth quarter, erasing a one-point deficit heading into the final quarter.

After the game, the Rebels’ social media administrator had prepared a clever caption, centered around the Sooners’ nickname.

That wasn’t the only postgame troll posted on social media in Week 9. Here are all the best plays in college football:

In a battle between two teams with similar mascots, it was the Bearcats who earned bragging rights over the Bears β€” and with that bragging rights came the right to become a post-game troll. Brendan Sorsby threw two touchdowns and rushed for one more as Cincinnati improved to 7-1 on the season with a home win over Baylor.

Cincinnati’s social media team chose to reference Baylor’s mascot (and its triumph) with a nod to a viral clip.


It was a dominant rivalry performance from Iowa in the battle for the Floyd of Rosedale Trophy, intercepting three Minnesota passes and limiting the Golden Gophers to just 133 total offensive yards. The Hawkeyes’ offense, defense and special teams all recorded at least one touchdown in the victory.

Iowa made digital changes to the Minnesota logo after the game, releasing a video showing Minnesota’s “M” replaced with an L and the usually smiling gopher crying.


Memphis won one of the biggest Group of Five games of the season with a late surge. After trailing 31-17 heading into the fourth quarter, the Tigers scored the game’s next 17 points and took the lead with just over a minute to play. South Florida engineered a last-ditch effort to set up a potential game-tying field goal attempt, but Nico Gramatica’s 52-yard effort sailed wide.

With victory assured, Memphis took to social media to post a graphic of the final score, displaying a tiger silhouetted over a bull, with the caption “bullseye.”


Kent State also used a late surge to win its Week 9 game. After falling behind MAC foe Bowling Green 21-3 midway through the third quarter, the Golden Flashes controlled the rest of the contest in a 24-21 victory. A trap play gave Kent State the lead for good. Da’Realyst Clark completed a pop pass on a reverse before throwing it to fellow receiver Wayne Harris in the end zone for the game-winning final score.

Kent State’s postgame troll about its conference rivals referenced the Falcons’ famous unofficial mascot, a 3-year-old exotic Persian shorthair cat named Pudge, with a clever caption.


Earlier in the week, Sacramento State President Luke Wood referred to Montana as “pandas” (Montana’s real mascot is the Grizzlies).

The Montana social media administrator remembered the comment. After the Grizzlies knocked off the Hornets on Friday night, Montana posted a photo on


Missouri State improved to 4-3 Tuesday night on a 7-yard touchdown pass from Jacob Clark to Ronnel Johnson in overtime, lifting the Bears above New Mexico State in a battle of .500 teams. The TD capped a productive day for Clark, who had 283 passing yards and three passing touchdowns.

After the game, Missouri took a few shots at its opponent’s cowboy-themed Aggie mascot, first posting the final score with the caption “walk into your saloon and take over your saloon” and then adding a graphic showing “the bears win” written on a pair of boots.


This rivalry game wasn’t as close as the score indicated, as the Spartans’ final touchdown came with just seven seconds left. The Wolverines ran everywhere Saturday night, with 276 yards and four touchdowns combined on the ground.

After the game, Michigan claimed the state it shares with its rival with a social media post.


Trailing 18-14 at halftime, the Aggies turned things around in dramatic fashion in the second half, scoring 35 points and leaving the Tigers in the dust. Marcel Reed threw for 202 yards, rushed for 108, threw two touchdowns and rushed for two more in the victory.

After the game, the Aggies mocked LSU’s highly anticipated β€” and canceled β€” halftime drone show with a brutal troll.
