DePauw Suffers Fourth Straight Loss with Defeat at Sewanee
Host Sewanee scored on each of its first three possessions and defeated DePauw by a 30-7 score at Harris Stadium. DePauw dropped to 1-4 with its fourth straight loss, while Sewanee improved to 3-4.
Sewanee marched 80 yards in just six plays on its opening drive with Ben Cleveland scoring on a 4-yard run. The extra point was off the mark and the hosts held a 6-0 lead with 10:11 left in the first.
Sewanee's defense stopped DePauw on downs and the offense needed just five plays to cover 85 yards with Zeke Wilson rushing for a 43-yard score to make it 13-0 with 5:57 remaining in the first.

On DePauw's fourth play of the ensuing series, Sewanee's De'Nard Ford picked off Jackson Kirtley and returned the interception for a score to make it 23-0 with 7:19 left in the half.
DePauw's Taylor Wagner gathered in the resulting kickoff on his own five and scampered 95 yards for the visiting Tigers' lone score of the contest. It was DePauw's first kickoff return for a touchdown since JaMarcus Shephard had two against Millsaps on October 25, 2003.
