A Canadian university is letting its students live their football dreams.
The University of Calgary's promotion called "The 13th Man" gives students the opportunity to practice with the Dinos and take part in one kickoff during game.
Students also get their own locker and jersey as well as a place on the game-day roster.
The winning student is also required to blog about the experience. Two have taken part in the promotion thus far, including the university's student union president Jarrett Henry.
Henry didn't get in on the tackle, but as the video below shows he was close to the play.
Mohammad Ahmed-Khan, the contest's other winner, tweeted from the field before Friday's game.
