Auburn kickoff girl goes on ESPN to share what it felt like to get drilled in the face
During Saturday’s game between Auburn and LSU, one highlight stood above the rest.
No, it wasn’t a Leonard Fournette run — nor was it a Gus Malzahn trick play. It was a photographer being pegged in the face by a kickoff.
Ashley Ward provided the nation with this viral video. Trying to catch a Daniel Carlson kickoff, she was unceremoniously smacked in the face by the ball.

On Tuesday, Ward went on ESPN to analyze the entire incident — breaking down the ‘play’ frame by frame. Credit this photographer for being such a great sport.
