If you thought catching kickoffs was an easy job, think again.
One woman found that out the hard way Saturday night, when she tried to catch a kickoff during the LSU-Auburn game at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Instead, the ball went right off her face in what looked like a pretty painful moment.
Oh boy. Have at it internet world. https://t.co/D0wKxioNzC

Ouch.
The Internet certainly had its fun with the vine, but the good news is the woman, Ashley Ward, is OK.
Since the incident, Ward, whose Twitter bio says she works in photo and video for Auburn athletics, has tweeted multiple times that she’s OK.

Note to self, though: Don’t ever try to catch a kickoff. Ever.
