Before each home football game, every new student, freshman or otherwise, who is apart of a group called the Baylor Line, is allowed to run onto the field. Once there, they create a "human tunnel" to greet the team. It's a really cool thing to be able to sprint onto the field where athletes like Robert Griffin III and Josh Gordon once played, so the students are understandably excited. At the Bears home opener in August, a few students fell over and were trampled in the mad dash on to the field. Today, ahead of Baylor's home finale against Kansas State, it happened again.

As you can see in the GIF above, a few fans trip, fall and are immediately run over by the throbbing mass of yellow-clad Baylor Line members. As the camera pans out, you can see more students go down with them. Hopefully no one was hurt, but this tradition has Baylor has going on is going to end up severely hurting someone. Below is footage of what happened during the home opener.
