A group of lucky students got the chance to run with Brutus the Buckeye into Ohio Stadium Tuesday afternoon. It was the finale to MTVu’s (MTV University) “Making of the Human Race: USC vs. OSU,” a documentary shown on MTVu.com detailing the challenge between how many miles Ohio State and the University of Southern California can log online in preparation for the actual race, to be held at OSU on Oct. 23.

The first 100 people to register at the RPAC were able to join Brutus while being filmed for the documentary. The students and camera crew gathered outside of the RPAC at 3:30 p.m. and ran to the ‘Shoe to begin the run.
The students began in the tunnel where the football players usually run out, and then ran once around the field cheering and yelling with Brutus leading the way. They repeated this routine three times for the documentary. 
After the run, many students took advantage of being on the football field by snapping pictures and lying in the painted Block O. 
A group of freshmen were particularly excited about the chance to stand on the football field. 
“It was the first time I actually stood in the middle [of the field],” said Tyler Kiner, a student in exercise science. “Some of the greatest athletes have stood on this field. There’s so much history in this stadium.”
Patrick Bortz, a student in psychology, agreed. “It was amazing to be on this hallowed ground,” he said.
