Auburn cheerleader obliterates Oklahoma player moments before kickoff

Before things got underway in Auburn-Oklahoma, one Sooner took perhaps the hit of the game

Oklahoma traveled to Auburn for their first-ever road game as an SEC team, to take on the Tigers. The Sooners are 3-1 on the season, but their year in the SEC has gotten off to a rocky start. The game between Auburn and Oklahoma comes after the Sooners lost their first-ever SEC conference game a week ago, 25-15 to Tennessee.

Things were rough for Oklahoma — at least one player in particular — before the game even began.

As the Sooners were taking the field, an Auburn cheerleader was finishing off a tumble routine and ended up absolutely obliterating one of the Oklahoma players. An astute fan in the stands captured the entire thing on video:

ESPN’s Jenna Laine, who covers the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but was also a college cheerleader, offered some detailed commentary:

Once the game began, things did not improve for the Sooners. Although the game is yet to go final, Oklahoma trails Auburn by a score of 14-10 as the fourth quarter begins.
