Ole Miss has scored the first touchdown of the Peach Bowl.
The Rebels drove the field after trading field goals with the Nittany Lions and had to employ some trickeration to convert 4th and 3 near midfield, with a Jordan Watkins end around pass to Jaxson Dart.

Caden Prieskorn had a few great plays on that drive, including the opening touchdown. Dart hit Prieskorn for an untouched score, check it out below:

Ole Miss should have had a touchdown to Prieskorn earlier in the game. Assuming he had a free play after Penn State jumped offsides, Dart unleashed a beautiful ball to Prieskorn for an apparent score. Instead, refs blew the play dead and Ole Miss had to settle for a field goal.
Ole Miss and Penn State are tied at 10 with 13:24 remaining in the 2nd quarter following a swift Nittany Lions answer.
