A ‘masterclass’ from Devon Dampier and more: How social media reacted to Utah’s win over West Virginia

Maybe the frustration directed at Devon Dampier online last week and the angst aimed at the Utah football team was a bit much. During Utah’s 34-10 loss to Texas Tech, many fans and analysts were critical of the Utes’ starting quarterback and the overall offensive effort.

There was a noticeable change in that tune on Saturday, when Utah went on the road and defeated a woebegone West Virginia team 48-14. You can even forgive Utah punter Orion Phillips for giving Utah fans a humorous shoutout to Dampier on social media after the quarterback threw a career-high four touchdowns. As a result of the strong offensive showing, Phillips didn’t even get into the game.

National media personality and former West Virginia punter Pat McAfee was convinced by Utah’s performance on Saturday. But what about others? Here’s a sampling of how social media reacted to the Utes’ impressive win over West Virginia.

Lane Kiffin perfectly trolled Brian Kelly after Ole Miss beat LSU

Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin was clearly feeling pretty good after his No. 13 squad defeated No. 4 LSU, 24-19, on Saturday in Oxford.

In Kiffin’s post-game interview, he joked about looking for his daughter’s boyfriend, Whit Weeks, an LSU linebacker, after the couple became Instagram official earlier this week.

Then, Kiffin took to Twitter to deliver a hilarious dig at Tigers head coach Brian Kelly. Known as one of the best social media trolls in the college football world, Kiffin tweeted a caption-less photo of Ole Miss-LSU game notes. The image specifically featured a page with a quote from Kelly on Thursday:

“We’re going to keep that Magnolia Trophy right here in Baton Rouge right where it deserves to be and our guys are excited for the opportunity.”

The Tigers had won in overtime last season, but Ole Miss reclaimed the Magnolia Trophy with their victory Saturday. That’s some peak Lane Kiffin trolling right there—hardly surprising from the outspoken coach.
