As Week 6 of the college football season unravels and conference standings begin to take shape, team social media pages keep the trolls coming strong.
The Virginia Cavaliers are off to a hot start in conference play, tallying a win over the Boston College Eagles on Saturday to move to 2-0 against ACC competitors. The Hoos tallied 17 fourth-quarter points in the win, the second time in two conference games they’ve scored a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns in a comeback victory.

Here’s a look at some of the best postgame jabs from Week 6 of the college football season.

Mustangs quarterback Kevin Jennings offered all sorts of offense in the win, throwing for 281 yards in addition to adding 113 rushing yards and a score on the ground.
The road victory moved SMU to 5-1 on the season, including 2-0 in conference play. SMU referenced the game’s location with a postgame caption paying homage to rapper Tee Grizzley’s hit song “First Day Out,” with the lyric “Ain’t it a blessing?” In the song, the line that follows is “We made it out Kentucky.”
