UA quarterback Brandon Dawkins was forced out of bounds during a second-quarter run. His momentum carried him to the sideline, where he knocked a woman on her back.
That woman was Tommy Lynn Calhoun, Miss Arizona 2017 and girlfriend of former Arizona linebacker Jake Fischer.
Dawkins shared a few words with Calhoun. Fischer ran over, gave Dawkins a pat on the helmet and sent the QB back into the game. Calhoun, who did not appear to be injured, trended briefly on social media and was the talk of ESPNβs broadcast. Sideline reporter Quint Kessenich managed to interview Calhoun a few minutes later. As they talked, Dawkins poked his head on camera and apologized.Β
