In 1933, head coach Ray Neal led the DePauw Tigers football team to an unbeaten, untied, and unscored opening season. The Tigers compiled a 7–0 record and outscored their opponents 136–0.[5] Neal nearly duplicated this feat in 1943, but DePauw, with a record of 5–0–1, finished the season with one scoreless tie and allowed six points in a different game. The only points surrendered that season were in a 39–6 victory over Indiana State, and the only non-win was a 0–0 tie against Oberlin. The Tigers outscored their opponents 206–6.
The Tigers have a longstanding rivalry with nearby Wabash College. Its most visible contest is the annual Monon Bell game.
