Cropper averaged 7.7 yards per carry and found the end zone in a 59-3 triumph over Mountain East (D2) Conference member West Virginia Wesleyan. Cropper went to work on Saint Francis' second offensive series, totaling 14 yards on his first three carries before exploding for a 44-yard touchdown run on a 4th-and-1 play. Cropper proceeded to pick up two first downs on the Red Flash's final touchdown drive of a dominant first half. The rookie gained nine yards on a 2nd-and-1 and later converted a 3rd-and-3 situation by running for eight yards.
