Chamberlain Smith appears to be doing okay, and tweeted a photo taken moments before her scary collision.
Smith was hit by a Georgia player while taking photos during the game against the Tigers, and had to be taken off on a stretcher to the hospital after being motionless for a small amount of time.

She seemed to be in very high spirits on Tuesday when she tweeted a photo she snapped moments before Brian Herrien ran into her. She tweeted that she hoped Herrien would “love” the shot and that it was “the last thing” her camera saw before she was hit.

Given how scary of a situation this was when it happened, I think we’re all glad to see it end on a good note. I was sitting in a bar in Lincoln, Nebraska, and everybody was glued to the TVs.
Chamberlain getting hit immediately silenced the room because she literally wasn’t moving at all.

Luckily, it sounds like she bounced back relatively quickly, and now has one hell of an awesome photo for the rest of her life.
Given how bad it was on the field, I think I speak for everybody when I say we’re all happy to hear she’s in high spirits.
Hopefully, she’s back to taking pictures sooner than later for the Bulldogs.
