Northwestern's callback to James Franklin post headlines Week 7 trolls
"Coming off a stunning defeat to unranked UCLA in Week 6, the pressure was on for Franklin to deliver a victory against Northwestern. Instead, Penn State dropped its third straight game of the season after a second half with just one touchdown. Northwestern targeted Franklin with their post game troll. On Friday, Franklin posted a video on X with the caption: "Northwestern, Northwestern, Northwestern!!!" The Wildcats referenced that caption, instead emphasizing the final Northwestern in all caps to cap off the win. Northwestern. Northwestern. NORTHWESTERN."
"Rivalries often bring the best out of teams on the field. The same can be said for trolling off of it. Texas defeated No. 6-ranked Oklahoma 23-6 in the Red River rivalry game. The Longhorns defense allowed just 258 yards and picked off Sooners quarterback John Mateer three times. Texas quarterback Arch Manning threw for 166 yards and a score."
Penn State fell 22-21 to Northwestern, marking a third straight loss and a second half that produced only one touchdown. Northwestern mocked head coach James Franklin on social media by echoing and capitalizing the final word of Franklin's own X caption. Texas dominated No. 6 Oklahoma 23-6, with a defense that allowed 258 yards and forced three interceptions while Arch Manning threw for 166 yards and a touchdown. Texas punctuated the Red River victory with a taunting post referencing the song "Ain't No Love in Oklahoma" and the Golden Hat. Alabama edged Missouri 27-24 in Week 7.
