A stunning college football fan went viral over the weekend after being captured in the stands during Georgia’s win over Texas.
The blonde supporter, who has since been identified as University of Arkansas student and Texas native Kiera Mayer, was picked out by television cameras at the end of the third quarter in Austin on Saturday night.
In a post which has amassed 43,000 likes on X, Barstool Sports shared a photo of Mayer on the broadcast and wrote: ‘We’re all rooting for Texas tonight’.
Unfortunately for Mayer and Texas fans, though, they were crushed by Georgia 30-15 on the night.
The home crowd also sparked controversy during the loss after launching bottles onto the field in protest at a controversial holding call.

They were left incensed when an interception for the then-top-ranked Longhorns against now-No 2 Bulldogs was initially wiped out by a pass-interference penalty.
In protest, Texas fans threw hundreds of bottles on the field to make their displeasure known, before head coach Steve Sarkisian could be seen walking over and urging them to stop.
Incredibly, their astonishing protests seemed to do the trick when the decision was eventually overturned, but Texas was fined $250,000 over the incident by the SEC.
Frightening footage from the game surfaced showing one spectator being rushed out of the crowd amid a medical emergency after bottles were thrown from all directions.
Texas superfan and acting legend Matthew McConaughey has blasted the football team’s supporters for their actions on Saturday night.
‘Longhorn nation and specifically our (Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium) student section, M.O.C. McConaughey coming at you here. First off, you were electric Saturday night when we hosted Georgia. Bravo,’ his social-media statement started.

‘Let’s continue to bring it. Even though our Horns didn’t get the W, you created a measurable home field advantage. But let’s get real about the bottle bombing the field glitch we had. Not cool. Bogey move.’
‘Yeah, that call was BS, but we’re better than that. Longhorn Nation knows how to show up, show out like no other, and still keep our class. So, going forward let’s clean that kind of BS up and leave that behind us for good. We have to shake hands on that.’
‘Next up, November 9th, when the Gators come to town, let’s make sure they feel the heat, can’t hear the play calls, and burn their timeouts – but remember nothing hits OUR field except that Texas fight. Til then, root hard and Hook em. McConaughey.”
Georgia-Texas had the largest television audience of any college football game last weekend with 12.9million tuning in.
