If you think cheerleading isn't a contact sport, then you didn't watch the National Title game Monday night.

When Ohio State took the field, there was a little bit of a mishap. The cheerleaders and the flag people take the field and the flags are supposed to make out O-H-I-O... but the final O didn't make it to the field.

The O and a cheerleader were trampled by the excited Buckeyes while taking the field.

As you will see in the photos below, the cheerleader managed to keep a smile on her face.

At least the guy who was holding the O was there to help the young lady.
