Ohio State has the crowd advantage in Monday night's national championship game, but perhaps the Buckeyes were a little too excited to enter the field.

Unfortunately it wasn't just a flag that got trampled as the OSU players entered the field. As you can see from these photos by Getty's Tom Pennington, that final "O" flag is on the ground, but so is a Buckeyes cheerleader.

She did get up, though, and is fine.
