Twitter trolls are active during Week 11 of the college football season.
The Ohio State Buckeyes celebrated a dominant victory Saturday at the expense of the Indiana Hoosiers. But Duck, mascot no. 6 of the Oregon Ducks, is definitely the troll of the week with his barrage of tweets towards the Washington Huskies no. 25.
Here are some of the best Week 11 Twitter trolls in college football.
The Buckeyes moved to 10-0 on the year after a 297-yard, five-touchdown day from quarterback CJ Stroud. Receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. also had a productive day, finishing with seven catches for 135 yards and a score.
The state of Indiana is home to the Indianapolis 500. Brutus, the Buckeyes mascot, described how his team got past the Hoosiers.

UCF quarterback John Rhys Plumlee racked up 308 yards (132 passing, 176 rushing) and three touchdowns (two rushing, one passing) to help his team hold off Tulane. According to ESPN Stats & Information, Plumlee joins Kansas State quarterback Adrian Martinez and Vanderbilt signal-caller Mike Wright as the only FBS players with at least 150 yards, two rushing scores and a passing touchdown in a game this season.
Louisiana is known for its beignets, a fried pastry, and UCF used that knowledge for a clever post-game troll.

Mustangs quarterback Tanner Mordecai finished with 280 passing yards and two touchdowns to help his team beat the Bulls. Running back Camar Wheaton had two rushing scores and Tyler Lavine added another touchdown.

Duke Blue Devils quarterback Riley Leonard went all out against the Virginia Tech Hokies, finishing with 310 total yards (262 passing, 48 rushing) and three touchdowns (two passing, one rushing) en route to his seventh win of the season Blue Devils.
According to the team’s website, Virginia Tech’s mascot, the HokieBird, is an evolution from its days as a turkey when the team’s nickname was the Gobblers. Duke’s Twitter account took a clever jab given the history of the Hokies’ mascots.
