Watkins has yet to take a snap in the Saturday night game on The Plains, but that hasn't stopped Ole Miss from gaining an early lead. The Rebels forced a turnover on downs near midfield from Auburn on its opening drive, and despite multiple holding penalties when the Rebels took over, they still managed to drive the field for a score, thanks in large part to rushing efforts from Quinshon Judkins.
Ole Miss found the end zone on a pass from Jaxson Dart to Zakhari Franklin, his first touchdown reception of the season.
