Arkansas athletic director Hunter Yurachek’s face is in rough shape these days.
During a recent football practice for the Razorbacks, the AD in Fayetteville was standing on the sideline when he got clipped in the face by a player’s cleat. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

In case you were wondering what the aftermath looked like, Yurachek also tweeted a photo of his face and it’s clear that it hurts a ton.

First and foremost, I love Yurachek taking a shot at former Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino’s motorcycle accident.
Generally speaking, college power players don’t get their faces messed up, but when they do, you can’t ever rule out a motorcycle crash thanks to Petrino’s history.
Secondly, I love how Yurachek is embracing the fact that he got his face cut up while watching practice. Football is a violent sport and things sometimes happen.
There’s really no better way to describe what happened here. He got a little too close to the action and paid the price.

Yet, he did it with a little self-deprecating humor. All the way around, this was a win for Arkansas, despite the fact it came with a little blood.
