The new quarterback of the Oklahoma Sooners may want to work on his accuracy.

Austin Kendall, who is replacing Baker Mayfield under center, threw a poor pass in the team’s spring game on Saturday. It ended up drilling a cheerleader in the face, which looked painful.

To his credit, Kendall did apologize (via OUDaily.)

Kendall’s pass flew to the sideline and hit the cheerleader in the face. She later tweeted that she was alive and well. He commented his apology on her Instagram post from the game, saying he hoped she felt better. She replied that he had an “amazing throw.”

An amazing throw, sure, but an even better reaction. That cheerleader is tough as nails.
