Marcus' win came from a few key players Coppell will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Peyton Belton, who rushed for 69 yards and one touchdown. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 58 yards. Jameson Mayfield also made an appearance on special teams (luckily for Marcus): his a 46-yard strike wound up winning them the game.
