A statement win on the road is nice, but trolling the opponent afterward is even better. Wake Forest followed that formula to perfection on Saturday, racing out to a 42-0 halftime lead against SMU in Dallas before cruising to a 49-7 final, and the Demon Deacons were not content to let the scoreboard do all the talking.
Wake Forest's social media team came prepared with receipts about the Mustangs' previously unbeaten record at home in ACC play. The program's account posted a graphic of a cracked stone slab painted with SMU's 12-0 mark in home conference games, with a 1 painted over the 0 in Demon Deacon gold and black, issuing a correction to a record that no longer stands.
Wake Forest was hardly alone in delivering a postgame jab after a big Week 11 win. Indiana kept churning in Bloomington, picking up its third consecutive victory in a top-25 showdown by beating USC 27-13. Star wide receiver Charlie Becker delivered the insurance score for the Hoosiers, hauling in a 42-yard touchdown on third down with three and a half minutes remaining to give his squad a two-score lead.
With the result in hand, Indiana used its stadium speaker system to troll the visiting Trojans, queuing up a specific song after the final whistle: 2Pac's "California Love."
At UConn, coach Jason Candle earned a major triumph in his first season in Storrs. The Huskies, coming off back-to-back losses, pounded a reeling James Madison squad, outscoring the Dukes 26-9 in the second half and handing them their third loss in the past four games. UConn then took aim at James Madison's acronym in its postgame post, swapping it for a new reading: "JM-Who?"
Memphis kept its strong 2026 campaign moving along against USF, surviving a Bulls rally from an early 21-0 deficit to win a high-scoring affair in Tampa, Florida, in which the two teams combined for 1,133 yards of total offense. The Tigers targeted USF's bull mascot with a final score post captioned "Reigned Them In."
The trolling began earlier in the week in the Mid-American Conference. Western Michigan routed conference foe Akron on the road in Tuesday night MACtion, finding the end zone at least once in every quarter. Afterward, the Broncos nodded to Akron's history in the rubber and tire industries with a graphic carrying the line "tired them out" above the schools' logos, the Zips' mark surrounded by a tire.
Miami (Ohio) produced another MAC troll after a memorable rivalry comeback against Ohio. The Bobcats put up the game's first 17 points and then did not score the rest of the way as the RedHawks posted 34 unanswered. Miami's final score graphic took a swing at Ohio's abbreviation with the caption "OU.. OH NO."
