6. FRED COPPET HAS FUNAquinas' 5-9, 175-pound junior tailback had modest numbers by his standards (15 carries, 57 yards) but his contributions are far greater than yards and touchdowns anyway.

He did score a pair of touchdowns, the game's first on a 12-yard burst up the middle and a 1-yard plunge in the third quarter, but you can see the Raiders feed off his energy.
He's not a showboat or boastful, but just seems to sincerely love the game and being around his teammates.
Make no mistake, he's a Division I talent. Great feet and fast and surprisingly strong. It takes more than one tackler usually to bring him down.
"That's just because of who he is," Lescano said. "He's not that big but he's a bundle of energy. He's great to be around."
