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.
