Met in the backfield

One of our D3boards.com posters put together an amazingly detailed description of this play, but the brief synopsis is as follows: 

UW-Whitewater running back Levell Coppage scores the game-clinching touchdown after shaking off a tackler in the backfield and making another miss before getting into the end zone.

We solicit video of top plays from every Division III football program and this was our top clip.
