Published:
A scary moment unraveled during the third quarter of Washington State’s 31-24 victory over Houston on Friday night.
Trying to avoid contact from Houston wide receiver Keith Corbin, ESPN sideline reporter Paul Carcaterra accidentally backed into one of the Cougars’ base cheerleaders. This resulted in the cheerleader being knocked off balance and dropping another cheerleader.
Below are a couple of angles of the play:
