Being on the sideline for a college football game is a unique experience, but it can be dangerous.
On Monday, a pass thrown out of bounds by Notre Dame QB Ian Book hit Elizabeth Scott, a Louisville dancer, breaking her nose. The play, which can be seen below, happened in the fourth quarter:

Ladybird dance coach Sheryl Knight issued a statement through the school on Tuesday:
“First, we want to thank Card nation, media members, friends and family for their concern over our Ladybird Elizabeth Scott’s injury last night during the football game. She suffered a broken nose after being struck by an errant pass by the Notre Dame quarterback. Her pain is manageable and she is seeking input from a specialist this afternoon due to the complicated nature of the break.
“Anyone who knows Liz, knows that she is spunky and resilient and she is anxious to return to the sidelines as soon as she can. Don’t be fooled by the pretty face and the sparkly uniforms, she and her fellow Ladybirds are athletes who are tough as nails.”
Louisville hosts Eastern Kentucky in Week 2.
