After one of the most chaotic weeks of college football in recent memory, Week 7 offered a little more normalcy. However, regardless of the results, the team’s social media remained heated with their post-match statements.
After an inconsistent start to the season, the Wisconsin Badgers have found their footing so far in October, dominating the Rutgers Scarlet Knights to a team-high 309 rushing yards en route to their second straight win. Running back Tawee Walker excelled in the win, racking up 198 yards on the ground to go along with three scores.
The Badgers’ social media team mocked Rutgers’ signature block R logo and branding with a clever caption after the game.

Here’s a look at some of the best postgame shots from Week 7 of the college football season.
Iowa 40, Washington 16
The Iowa Hawkeyes rebounded nicely from a 35-7 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes, earning a 40-16 home victory against the Washington Huskies. It was the first time the Hawkeyes scored 40 or more points against a power conference opponent since Oct. 1, 2021. The 2024 season is now the first campaign in which Iowa has posted multiple 40-plus point games since 2020, according to ESPN research.
Sticking to the theme of trolls in opponent-related comments, the Hawkeyes referenced Washington’s nickname “UDub” with a multi-faceted victory caption.

Western Kentucky 44, UTEP 17
On Thursday night, the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers moved to 4-2 with a comfortable win over the winless UTEP Miners. Hilltopper quarterback Caden Veltkamp threw three touchdowns in the win.
A graphic of Western Kentucky’s postgame victory featured the Hilltoppers’ famous Big Red mascot using an ax to smash a rock, with the appropriate accompanying text “crushed.”

Cincinnati 19, UCF 13
Road wins are often a little better, especially when they count toward the conference standings. The Cincinnati Bearcats picked up that win on the road on Saturday when they traveled to Orlando, Florida and earned a 19-13 victory over the UCF Knights.
UCF’s FBC Mortgage Stadium is nicknamed the “Bounce House” due to the building’s reputation for shaking — or bouncing — when crowd noise ramps up during big moments. Cincinnati trolled the title after the game with a graphic showing an empty bounce house featuring the caption “Bounce.”

Penn State 33, USC 30
The Penn State Nittany Lions let loose late in the road — needing overtime to pull away from the USC Trojans at Los Angeles Stadium — but remain undefeated and among the leaders in the College Football Playoff race. Penn State took advantage of a big day for tight end Tyler Warren, whose 17 points in games tied by a tight end in FBS history.
The Nittany Lions engaged in some trolling briefly after the game, planting the team’s “US” flag in the Coliseum’s center field. However, head coach James Franklin was quick to put an end to the antics.
