BYU Cheer Coach Says She Was KO’ed By Flying Water Bottle At Utah Game

BYU’s cheerleading coach says she was knocked out by a flying water bottle on the finish of the Cougars’ recreation in opposition to Utah on Saturday … and now, she says cops are on the hunt to search out the fan who threw it.

The article was apparently hurled in disgust by a Utah supporter who was upset over the best way BYU had pulled off a surprising, come-from-behind, 22-21 victory over the Utes at Rice-Eccles Stadium.

In video obtained by the Deseret News, you possibly can see simply after BYU had kicked the game-winning discipline purpose with simply seconds left on the clock … a water bottle got here flying in from the stands and pelted Jocelyn Allan proper within the face.

The cheer coach — who’s been at BYU since 2010 — may very well be seen crumpling to the bottom in ache … and in an Instagram submit shortly after the sport ended, she wrote she “lost consciousness.”

“But thankfully [I] was lowered to the ground by one my cheerleaders,” she added.

“Police are going over video footage to identify the seats that it came from.”

As of Monday, there had been no updates within the case … with BYU telling the Deseret Information, “The incident is still being reviewed, and we won’t be providing further comment right now.”
