There was a scary scene during Minnesota's game against Iowa on Tuesday night as an Iowa cheerleader was taken off the floor on a stretcher after falling during a routine according to the broadcast.

Oh no. One of the Iowa cheerleaders got injured on a tumbling pass and landed on his neck. He was able to nod his head when being asked a question.
