Tyrann Mathieu and J.J. Watt bet 100 pushups on the LSU vs. Wisconsin game Saturday.
The former Tigers star probably thought it was an easy win, but both he and the program lost when the Badgers pulled out a 16-14 win at Lambeau Field.
A man of his word, Mathieu honored the bet and recorded it as proof. But he had a hilarious message for Watt before he did the deed.
Now before I post this push up video remember I only did 4 reps of bench press @JJWatt 😂😂😂😂

Known more for his skills as a ball-hawking defender than his ability to pump iron, Mathieu couldn’t do the entire tally in one session.

After enjoying his rival pay up, Watt, a former Wisconsin defensive lineman, responded in the way you might expect.
✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼 much respect!! Man of his word. What a game.

The only thing that marred the fantastic old-school battle was a late, vicious, dirty hit by Josh Boutte after Wisconsin picked off quarterback Brandon Harris to seal the game.
