The football team went 1-1 in its two games over fall break, taming one team of Tigers and losing to another.
DePauw dropped its third home game of the season to Trinity University by a score of 43-28 before going on the road to defeat Colorado College Saturday in a thrilling 41-40 double-overtime game.
In the Oct. 13 game versus the Tigers from Texas, DePauw trailed 19-0 late into the first half before scoring the team's first touchdown on a 12-yard pass from sophomore quarterback Spud Dick to sophomore receiver Bryan Mulligan. Trinity scored on the ensuing possession off of two passes by quarterback Blake Barmore before DePauw rallied to score 14 unanswered points and trail 26-21 going into the half.
Trinity scored on its next three possessions, however, and the Tigers did little to respond.
Dick threw 50 pass attempts and finished the day with 27 completions for a career-high 318 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. Mulligan grabbed eight passes for 108 yards and a touchdown.
The Trinity game marked the comeback of senior running back Jeremiah Marks, who rushed 20 times for 72 yards. However, it was the Colorado Tigers that hosted Marks' welcome-back party. He exploded the Colorado defense for a career-high 218 yards on 34 carries and tied a career-high with five touchdowns.
"That game felt awesome," Marks said. "Ever since [the Centre College game] I felt like I had just been recovering and I never really felt I was at my full potential. For me personally, I just needed it to get me back on track."
Both teams wasted little time in the first overtime, as it took only one play for each team to score. Marks marched 25 yards to the end-zone before Colorado quarterback Jon McDonald completed a 25-yard pass in the end-zone to Ross Alisiani.
The teams would switch roles in the second overtime, however, as the Colorado Tigers scored first. DePauw saw a glimmer of hope, however, as sophomore defensive lineman Alex Fitch blocked Colorado's extra-point attempt to make the score 40-34.
