Fortunately Depauw won by playing hard, and without having to rely on stealing signals as occurred in 1998 which made the time upon the ash heap all the more unbearable.
When will the references to the sign "stealing" end? First, DPU wasn't part of the conference so they were free to scout games in person. Second, Wabash could have done what nearly any football team with an ounce of sense would have done and use two people to send in the signals or run a player into the huddle with the play. DePauw was using four people to signal the offensive plays at the game on Saturday. Third, it was evident to the Wabash students on the chain gang, the Wabash offense and anyone else on the field that DPU's defense was calling out the plays before they were run and Wabash never changed their method. Fourth, the DPU offense rolled up close to 35 points in the first half without knowing any of the defense's signals. Finally, the NCAA investigated it and found DPU not guilty.
Good luck in the playoffs.
