The Auburn Tigers fell to the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday afternoon at Jordan-Hare Stadium in a hotly contested 27-21 heartbreaker.

While there were plenty of big hits throughout the day delivered from both teams, the biggest of the afternoon might have just come before the game even started. While the Sooners were running out of the tunnel to take the field, an Auburn cheerleader was doing his flips and may have had a little bit of a miscalculation as to how open the area was:

The hit was delivered to Sooners defensive back Makari Vickers, giving the Sooner a formal welcome to the SEC in what was Oklahoma’s first ever road game in the conference.

Luckily for both the player and the cheerleader, neither were injured in the unfortunate accident and both can look back and laugh about it.

Unfortunately for Auburn, the big hit was not a sign of things to come as Boomer Sooner would leave The Plains with the victory.
