COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- The first meeting between Ohio State and Ohio University in 15 years also meant a reunion of sorts for the school's mascots after the infamous "Rufus Bobcat vs. Brutus Buckeye" brawl in 2010.
There was no animosity between the mascots when the two programs took the field prior to kickoff. But game organizers did set up a revenge match of sorts during a break in the second quarter.
A video played on the scoreboard, revisiting the scuffle that took Brutus and the crowd by surprise. A makeshift scoreboard on the field showed Rufus leading 1-0 when Brutus came down to the tunnel in an entrance reminiscent of WWE to get revenge on the Bobcats' mascot.
The two characters engaged in a "tug of war" which Brutus won to even the score. Later in the game, Brutus and Rufus took part in a 100-yard dash down the field, which coincidentally Brutus also emerged victorious.
