Things haven’t been going all that well lately for the Auburn Tigers, and one Tigers cheerleader may well have taken out her aggression on an unsuspection Oklahoma football player on Saturday.
Okay, so that’s probably not how things went down. But what we do know is that an Auburn cheerleader absolutely destroyed a Sooners player during their team entrance.
A video of the incident shows the cheerleader doing a lengthy tumbling pass during pregame festivities. But the Oklahoma players decided to run right through her routine, and now they might regret that.

The video, which comes from Twitter user @dBricej, shows the flipping cheerleader absoulutely level the unsuspecting Oklahoma player who then goes crashing to the ground.
“I hope @OU_Football can take a moment to appreciate that young man’s ability to bounce up after that blindside hit, needs to be reviewed during film,” one fan said of the incident.
“Saw this live in person too and let me tell you, it was hilarious,” said another.
At this point, Auburn will take every advantage it can get. The Tigers are 2-2 this season with losses to both Cal and Arkansas. Second-year head coach Hugh Freeze is already feeling the pressure and blaming his players for the Tigers’ struggles.
“I know that there’s people open and I know that we’re running the football,” Freeze said after a 24-14 loss to Arkansas last week. “We’ve got to find a guy that won’t throw it to the other team, and we’ve got to find running backs that hold on to it.
“The scheme is what most everybody in the country is running, some sort of. But you’ve got to have a good quarterback in whatever system you’re going to choose.”
Freeze may well have a point. Quarterbacks Payton Thorne and Hank Brown have been awful through four games. But it’s his responsibility to either make them look good or find a better option. He did neither, and so the Tigers are yet again one of the worst teams in the SEC.
