WATCH: Auburn RB blows kisses to Georgia crowd late in blowout his team was losing
Auburn is down big against No. 2 Georgia in the fourth quarter, but the Tigers aren’t letting that stop them from celebrating their first touchdown of the game. Running back Jarquez Hunter scored on a 62-yard reception and blew kisses to the crowd as he crossed the goal line.
His score cut Georgia’s lead to 35-10, but Hunter was undeterred as he blew kisses.
On the ensuing kickoff, he sprinted the length of the field on the kickoff coverage unit, seemingly unfazed by his long touchdown run just moments earlier. Check him out at the end of the run, blowing kisses to fans in Sanford Stadium.
Auburn got off to a decent start in the game defensively before Georgia’s superior depth began to wear on the Tigers.
And the Tigers simply couldn’t get anything going offensively.
Georgia broke things open with a 64-yard Stetson Bennett IV touchdown run early in the fourth quarter that extended the lead to 28-3 and essentially put the game out of reach. The Bulldogs punched in another touchdown before Jarquez Hunter’s touchdown, complete with celebration.
