A college footballer took an unusual approach to the dating game this week - by accidentally TAKING OUT a pitchside reporter with a tackle, before trying to TAKE her OUT on a date.
Prather Hudson was in action for the Georgia Bulldogs, when he floored a member of the opposition, as well as ESPN's Laura Rutledge.
The TV presenter was providing coverage for the network live from the touchline, when she got caught up in the action.
Bulldogs running back Hudson drove an opponent of visiting team the Massachusetts Minutemen out of bounds, but inadvertently flattened Rutledge too.
Fortunately Rutledge emerged unscathed from the incident - although that's more than can now be said for Hudson's ego.
