Aaron Rodgers rocks Auburn jersey after bet with C.J. Uzomah, refuses to say âWar Eagleâ
Aaron Rodgers looks good in orange, amirite?
He just has to work on that War Eagle.
The New York Jets quarterback lost a friendly wager with teammate and former Auburn star C.J. Uzomah and paid the price by rocking a Tigers jersey after Hugh Freeze’s guys went to California on Saturday and beat Cal – Rodgers’ college team – 14-10.
As you can see in the video below, Uzomah urged the quarterback to give a “War Eagle,” but Rodgers just laughed.
Payton Thorne threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Rovaldo Fairweather following California’s third missed field goal of the game and Tigers rallied for the win. Auburn had been stagnant most of the night offensively, generating only six first downs in the first three quarters before putting together a 69-yard drive midway through the fourth quarter to take the lead.
The Golden Bears had a chance to come back after Jarquez Hunter lost a fumble for at Auburn at the Tigers’ 41 with 4:00 left. Sam Jackson V threw an interception in the end zone on fourth-and-13 from the 18 with 1:44 to play.
