Craziest "Viral Meme" Moments in College Football

Caleb Williams, known for sending subtle messages with painted nails during USC's football games last season, had used this unique canvas for various purposes

Some messages have aligned with social impact movements, like painting the suicide and crisis lifeline number on his nails two weeks in a row

However, not all of his nail art has been positive. For the Pac-12 championship game against Utah, Williams painted the words F Utah on his nails

And what do you know? Karma came back to bite USC in the ass and slipped past him to win the game from a two-point conversion in Caleb Williams' first loss as a Trojan

The internet went wild after this game as Florida State tight end Trey McKitty made an unexpected yet intentional move

lining up facing the wrong way during the Seminoles narrow 45-44 overtime victory against Louisiana Monroe

McKitty clarified the unconventional play, citing a last minute adjustment due to an offensive line error

and the need to maintain secrecy regarding their formation before the snap

In an explanation to the media, he reassured, I didn't line up the wrong way on accident

I'm here to tell you right now, we don't care. We don't care

As it turned out, the Seminoles not only managed to secure 11 yards and a first down on that play

but also left viewers scratching their heads at the peculiar sight. This one's hilarious

In the heat of another egg bowl, Ole Miss defensive lineman Breeland Speaks

decided to spice things up a bit. He snagged a fumble during the game against Mississippi State on Thanksgiving night

and then flashed a big smile and a wave, maybe for the camera or just for the fun of it

It was all smiles for the Rebel that night as they ended up taking the win. The game they call clean old-fashioned hate

turned into a bit of a brawl to say the least Georgia George Pickens got the boot for throwing punches at Georgia Tech Trey Swilling God damn Welcome to the UFC brother Bulldogs were already cruising at 37 so his exit wasn a game there

However, fans were sweating over whether he'll make it to the SEC title game against LSU that next week

The punishment ultimately was Pickens being suspended for the first half of that game

which at the time, Georgia was already nursing some bruises, and with Pickens sidelined for the first half

they would have some extra work cut out for them. Sure, the blowout against Georgia Tech was smooth sailing

but taking down LSU just got a whole lot trickier for the Bulldogs, which Joe Burrow and the Tigers essentially put up 481 yards

and a blowout win of 37-10. Let's rewind to this unforgettable moment

Michigan Wolverines had the win in their sights against rivals Michigan State, but a mishandled punt by Blake O'Neal in the final play changed the game

The ball slipped away at Michigan State's 38-yard line, snatched by Jalen Watts Jackson

who raced to secure a walk-off touchdown, sealing a stunning 27-23 victory that left the big house in disbelief

Everything about this video was perfect. The fumble, the look on the fans' faces, the coaches' face, everything

The Purdue Boilermakers fell short of the win this game, but not for lack of effort

Things got wild when safety Chris Jefferson, after a gutsy 72-yard sprint for an interception touchdown

decided to leave it all out on the field, quite literally. This kid is a gamer

He's a baller. He's a playmaker. This puke six moment went viral

stealing the limelight from their loss, which some blamed on their coaches iffy calls near the end

And when asked about the incident, Jefferson jokingly pointed fingers at his health kick saying

guest trying to eat healthy had its drawbacks. No kidding there. Hey, let's take a trip down memory lane to that epic moment

when Marshawn Lynch pulled off the ultimate injury cart joyride. Back in 2006, the California star was already making waves

as a Heisman Trophy contender. But it was after his standout performance

in an overtime win against Washington on October 21st that he truly embraced his beast mode persona that later defined his NFL career That when it just clicked in my mind Run through a motherf face It all boiled down to that one iconic moment at Cal when he hopped onto a training cart

zooming through a bewildered crowd of people, fans, and coaches, leaving everyone cheering and cementing it as a pivotal memory in the Lynch legend

Let me tell you about the rise of the Get Back Coach, a hero silently working behind the scenes in college football

It was Dabo Sweeney and his crew who really pushed this trend into the limelight

In the heat of this game, the passionate defensive coordinator Brent Venables often found himself

wandering onto the field, driven by pure adrenaline. Back in 2014, during a particularly intense moment, a ref approached Sweeney hinting at

a potential penalty. That's when Adam Smotherman, the assistant strength coach, stepped in

Sweeney motioned towards Smotherman, trusting him with the critical task of reigning in Venables

A former defensive tackle at Vanderbilt, Smotherman took up the challenge, becoming the

guardian of the sidelines, making sure that Venables stayed within bounds throughout the

2019 season. I gotta confess, I love this man. I love this man. In this intense Ole Miss vs

Bama showdown, frustrations flared. Accusations of biased officiating flew around questioning whether Bama had the refs in their pockets. As if facing the top-ranked team wasn't tough enough

things took an odd turn when C.J. Johnson, a junior defensive end, got a flag thrown in his eye

Medical staff rushed to his aid, but he managed to make a courageous return to the field just

after a few plays. Talk about a kick to the face. With less than two minutes left in the fourth

quarter of an electrifying Texas-West Virginia game, Mountaineers running back Martel Petaway

made a notable seven-yard gain. However, it wasn't the highlight of the game. That honor belonged to

an unexpected incident during the play when WVU's left guard Josh Sills took a tumble

with Texas' Anthony Cook's cleat getting bizarrely stuck in Sills' face mask. Amidst the chaos

Cook had to remove his lodged cleat, creating a bizarre moment that provided a quick breather

for West Virginia. Can you imagine if this happened during a high stakes rivalry or championship game

Check out this squirrel pulling off a touchdown run while the Louisville crowd goes wild It hilarious how the little critter makes its way to the end zone with players from both teams looking on The Fox camera crew even decides to give it some air time

and the play-by-play announcer calls the action like it's a real player making a real play

That's why he's the GOAT! THE GOAT! I love how the whole Louisville crowd gets into the excitement

It's one of those rare moments in sports when an animal steals the show and everyone loves it

Squirrels? They always bring some extra cheer, don't they? Here's one of many Drew Locke viral moments

Back in college against rivalry Texas Longhorns, Locke throws a tutty then mocks the Longhorns with his own celebration while staring them down

That didn't age well as later in the game, Locke threw an interception, resulting in the Texas players and entire sideline

including Longhorns coach Tom Herman and quarterback Sam Ellinger, to join in on the fun and end up winning the game 33-16

This one's going down in the books as a major blunder. Ole Miss battling it out with Mississippi State for the Golden Egg Championship in 2021

Elijah Moore snags a late-game touchdown, but then goes on to imitate a dog taking a leak

Classic move, right? Well, it cost the Rebels big time with a penalty pushing the extra point 15 yards back

No surprise, the kicker couldn't handle the pressure, missing the shot to the right

And Mississippi State walked away with a 21-20 win in the 116th Egg Bowl

You might be one of the dumbest folks on the planet Earth. And I say that affectionately with a smile on my face

Coach Matt Luke after the game had to do some damage controls saying that's not what their team's about

Funny thing is, DK Metcalf pulled the same stunt back in 2017

And yep, you guessed it. Same penalty. But Ole Miss managed to snatch a win that time

31-28 taking the golden egg home to Oxford. Big shout out to Odell Beckham Jr. for the inspiration
