๐ Auburn's caption top trolls from Week 7
Key Points
A statement win on the road is sweet. Trolling your opponent afterwards is even sweeter. Florida and its head coach, Jon Sumrall, got to experience both those feelings on Saturday, as the Gators went into Austin and beat No. 7
A statement win on the road is sweet. Trolling your opponent afterwards is even sweeter.
Florida and its head coach, Jon Sumrall, got to experience both those feelings on 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 his 35 passing attempts for 155 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while 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 jab from Week 7.
Auburn 27, Georgia 24
Auburn pulled off one of the results of the season on 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.

Ole Miss 31, Missouri 3
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 four total Trinidad Chambliss scores -- scoring 31 unanswered points on Missouri to earn a comprehensive victory.
Tacking on a troll afterwards for good measure, Ole Miss took to social media with a rhyme scheme that cued up a "caught the Tigers" boast.

Kansas State 35, Kansas 24
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 across the game's 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.

Appalachian State 35, Coastal Carolina 32
In a game that saw the two competing teams combine for 953 yards of total offense, it was Appalachian State that 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 score wasn't enough to close the gap.
The Chanticleers were wearing their '90s uniforms for the game, a fact that Appalachian State jabbed at with a postgame graphic and caption referencing 1996 classic Jerry Maguire.

Georgia Southern 23, Old Dominion 15
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 different 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 their opponent's Monarch mascot.

UAB 30, East Carolina 17
East Carolina raced out to an early two touchdown lead, but it was UAB who laughed last -- despite having never led the game at any point in regulation. The Blazers opened up 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 featuring buried-treasure style golden coins, with the most prominent coin simply marked "W."

Middle Tennessee 33, Delaware 30
Tuesday night college football didn't disappoint this week, as Middle Tennessee came out on top against Delaware in a back and forth affair. 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.
"Plucked" read the tagline of Middle Tennessee's jab at its fowl-mascoted foe, with a graphic featuring an imposing horses' hoof sending feathers scattering.

Jacksonville State 27, FIU 24
Another Tuesday night troll came by way of Jacksonville State, who downed FIU at home to move to 5-2 on the season. Caden Creel paced the Gamecocks offense with 214 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns to go with 95 rushing yards, while Garrison Rippa drained a 26-yard field goal with less than a minute remaining to secure his squad the win.
Jacksonville State nodded to FIU's mascot after the game, posting a graphic of a caged panther accompanied with a "WASTED" caption, referencing the "Grand Theft Auto" video game series and FIU's "Vice U" tagline.
