One tackle in the Big Ten championship game came with some collateral damage.
In the second quarter of the clash between No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 Indiana, a scramble by Buckeyes quarterback Julian Sayin resulted in a four-yard loss on a sack. His shoe, however, proceeded to gain a few more yards.
As Sayin rolled on the ground, the shoe flew the air and hit an Ohio State cheerleader in the mid-section, then bounced into another cheerleader. These are the dangers of sideline work in a football game.
