FB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[wally_wabash]

Kidding aside, this is a pretty impressive comeback for DPU.  They scored quickly to take the lead, then got blitzkrieged by Trine for 27 straight points.  I thought it was doneski at that point.  DPU has done a great job getting poised and getting back on top in this game.  

That attendance is weak though.  I realize it's break time for the university, but this is the first ever home playoff game in school history.  Go support your team.  

59-yd TD pass for Trine plus a 2 point play puts the Thunder up 35-28.  That's the second long TD pass DPU has given up today (the other was 60 yards).  Big plays like that are killer.

Reusch (sp?) is a tremendous receiver for the Warhawks!......

UWW 21
FC 14

close to half

Indeed a great comeback for Depauw today.  Wes, believe it or not, but every Wabash fan I know is hoping the Tigers are victorious...!

I hope Franklin can keep up with UWW. Honestly did not expect a shootout there.

5th INT for Zoeller in the Witt game!...tough...very tough

[DPU3619]

DePauw gives another big play.  59 yd pass.  35-28 Trine.  End 3rd.

Franklin has 2 rushing yards at half, btw.

[BashDad]

They also have 211 through the air, by the way.

[DPU3619]

True, but I'd guess that they're going to need to get a little more balanced, because I don't think Whitewater gives them another 211 in the second.

EDIT: Koors sighting.  38 yards.  35-35.

EDIT 2: DePauw can't stop them.  Just can't.  6 plays and 70 yards, including a 40 yard pass. 42-35.

Franklin needs to get a stop on the opening possession in the 3rd quarter.  If they have to chase Whitewater two scores down, that defense is going to have their way. 

[wally_wabash]

Defenses are done in Greencastle.  Trine scores in six plays (a pair of 30+ yard completions).  42-35 Thunder. 

[wally_wabash]

Zoeller threw five interceptions this season.  Today, he's thrown six.  Wow. 

[BashDad]

Make that 7.... Jesus.

[Li'l Giant]

Trine's defense at least got that pick here. DPU can't waste a possession like that.

Questionable choice to go for it there on 4th and 8 from the 38.  Plenty of time...I know the defense has been non-existent, but I think you've got to pin Trine deep there and play for field position with this much time left.  

Whitewater scores on a big pass play to go up 28-14.  Grizzlies are officially in trouble.  

Seven picks for Zoeller has to be approaching some kind of NCAA championship record.

This team is so frustrating with the way it turns the ball over.

[wally_wabash]

Engle's third INT ends what would appear to have been DPU's last chance.  Trine is up 45-35 with that ball and under 3 minutes to go.
