When Avery Eliason stepped onto the field at Ohio Stadium during halftime of Saturday’s Ohio State spring game, she thought she was just going to kick a field goal.
Drue Chrisman’s girlfriend was sitting in the stands with former Ohio State kicker Sean Nuernberger and his girlfriend when long snapper Liam McCullough’s girlfriend, who works with OSU’s fan engagement team, came up and told them that they would be participating in a halftime kicking contest for the specialists’ girlfriends.
“I was nervous to kick a ball in front of everybody, I’ve never done that before,” Eliason said.
