    That’s one way to welcome your opponent on game day.

    An Auburn cheerleader accidentally collided with a player on Oklahoma’s football team Saturday, when the Tigers hosted the Sooners in an afternoon clash at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

    As the Sooners jogged onto the field, a cheerleader could be seen doing a series of flips in their direction. While some players quickly veered out of the way, Oklahoma defensive back Makari Vickers was in the athlete’s path, resulting in a wild pregame collision.
