Greencastle, Indiana

About 10:30 left in the 3rd quarter -

Austin College - 17
Depauw Universiy - 14

Andy Braly is playing a masterful game and is picking the Depauw defense apart varying the throw / run alternatives with the Austin option style offense

Depauw weathers a big hit in the mouth at start of second half. Bends but doesn't break in the red zone and Austin has to settle for 3 with a 29 yard field goal

66 yard 4 minute drive for the Roos

Big stop there.  Need to hold them to 3 more often.

TU goes down for a 27 yd field goal on their first drive.  Centre now driving in TU territory.

Depauw completes nice drive after close potential turnover call at midfield

[frank_ezelle]

This seems like one of those games where Austin needs things to go close to perfect.  It feels like the combination of Austin settling for a FG instead of a TD on the opening drive and then the near interception that was ruled a DePauw completion on the last drive are the type things that add up to a DePauw win in the long run.

[DPU3619]

Yeah, Frank.  Once that DePauw passing game gets rolling, the opponent has to execute perfectly to even stick around.  Spud's 23-29 for 238 and 2 scores. 

Alex Koors became the school's single season receiving leader on that last drive.  He's at an even 1000 yards as I write this.  Broke John Stephens record of 991 in 2001.

10-0 TU now.  Davidson to Urban from 23 yards out early in the 2nd.  TU just recovered an onside kick, but then Staska fumbled inside the Centre 20.

Austin dodges a bullet after fumble springs loose on the Austin College 15

Roos follow-up and pick up first down

Now moving ball on their own 43 at the end of the 3rd quarter

The other thing is that Austin is not really a quick strike team, so unless they put some points on the board on this drive, it could be real bad!
