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, 5–0–1, finished the season with one scoreless tie and six points allowed 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 blood feud with "nearby" Wabash College, its most visible clash is the annual Monon Bell game.
