Week 11 in college football not only brought big wins and upsets, it also brought quality trolls from around the country.
The No. 2 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes didn’t allow the Purdue Boilermakers to get on the board on Saturday, shutting their Big Ten foe out in a 45-0 win to move to 8-1 on the 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.

Here is a look at some of the best postgame trolls from Week 11 in college football.
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets‘ first upset of the season against the Florida State Seminoles wasn’t enough. Against the then-undefeated Miami Hurricanes, 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 they regained the lead, they kept their foot on the gas pedal to a 28-23 upset victory.
After stunning Miami, the Yellow Jackets posted a final score graphic with the caption “U better believe it!” mocking the Miami slogan of “U gotta believe.”

The Texas State Bobcats jumped out to an early 28-0 first half lead over the UL Monroe Warhawks. Led by Texas State backup quarterback Brad Jackson‘s 126 rushing yards for two touchdowns, the Bobcats took down the Warhawks 38-17.
Following the win, Texas State’s social media page captioned their final score post “Flight has been canceled,” making fun of their opponents’ avian mascot.

Grambling 25, Alabama State 24
The Alabama State Hornets gained an early 10-point lead over the Grambling Tigers. However, GSU retracted their way back into the game with 14 fourth quarter points to take a one-point lead in crunch time. The Hornets had a chance to take the lead in the final moments with a 28-yard field goal 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 31, Florida A&M 12
The Prairie View A&M Panthers had just begun to find their 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!”

Jackson State 51, Mississippi Valley State 14
In state rivalries can only go far. The Jackson State Tigers are currently sitting atop the SWAC West, remaining undefeated in conference play after a 51-14 slaughter against the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils.
Jackson State trolled their fellow SWAC foe and Mississippi rival as their little brother.
