COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — After 15 years, Brutus Buckeye finally got revenge on Rufus the Bobcat.

Brutus won a tug-of-war and 100 yard dash against the rival from Ohio University during the second quarter of Saturday night's game between the top-ranked Buckeyes and Bobcats.

Brutus' performance mirrored Ohio State's as it pulled away in the second half for a 37-9 victory .
