Auburn Cheerleader Absolutely Lays Out Oklahoma Player In Ill-Fated Pregame Tumble

Forget about an Oklahoma drill — this Auburn cheerleader didn't wait for some ceremonial circle to stage a vicious attack on the visiting opposition. Doing a relentless flurry of back handsprings and flips down the field at Jordan-Hare Stadium while a bunch of Sooners players run onto the turf might not have been the most advisable course of action. You figure that Division I/FBS athletes with cat-like reflexes will be able to dodge a gone-rogue cheerleader, but in this instance, the Oklahoma player got blasted on a blind-side hit. https://twitter.com/dbricej/status/1840115219546214667 Here's a blurry-as-hell blown-up close-up of the scene. You're welcome! https://twitter.com/RedditCFB/status/1840119863240523857 My eyeballs are straining to see the jersey number. Best I can tell is it's Oklahoma No. 8, which narrows it down to either freshman running back Taylor Tatum or sophomore defensive back Makari Vickers. Since Tatum is listed at 5-10 and Vickers is 6-1, I'm gonna go with Vickers since he looks a little on the taller side. Poor you, Makari Vickers, if that is in fact you. The Sooners are in the process of a quarterback change to freshman Michael Hawkins Jr., but they're in danger of dropping a second straight game after last week's loss to Tennessee. Payton Thorne — who still apparently plays college football, WTF? — has thrown two TDs for the home team in the first half, putting the Tigers up 14-7. If you ask me, Oklahoma's morale had to be in the basement once an Auburn cheerleader laid out one of their players. Talk about setting the physical tone. OU ain't gonna be the finesse allegations after this one unless they stage a second-half comeback. Thoughts and prayers out to Makari Vickers or whichever Oklahoma dude that was who got smoked by the cheerleader. I'm sure that clip will not haunt you forever. I'm kidding. We'll all move on fast to the next bizarre college football highlight.
