PICS: Ohio State cheerleader somehow managed to avoid being trampled by players

If you stayed up to watch the College Football Playoff National Championship game last night, you probably joined us in wincing as the Ohio State players took to the field.

The reason being that two Buckeyes' cheerleader found themselves underneath the parade of behemoths who were sprinting onto the field ahead of their 42-20 victory over Oregon. The male cheerleader was able to find his way to his feet and admirably attempted to run against the wave of giants to help his colleague. The consummate pro, the female cheerleader somehow managed to keep a smile on her face despite the terrifying torrent of men who could have trampled her at any second. Luckily, the girl was able to find her way out of the stampede and miraculously escaped unharmed.  

Our Cheerleader is ok. Just a miscommunication with the team runout and the producers but everyone is ready for the second half ! — OSU Spirit Squad (@OSU_SpiritSquad) January 13, 2015

And what a second half it was, as the Buckeyes put together 21 points to match the 21 they scored in the first half which sent them to the national title.
