WATCH: Caden Prieskorn Puts Ole Miss Up Two Scores With Second TD
The Ole Miss Rebels are on a roll in Atlanta.
Already leading 13-10 and with momentum at their backs, the Rebels were able to strike again on the vaunted Penn State Nittany Lions defense late in the second quarter on Saturday, with Jaxson Dart hitting tight end Caden Prieskorn for a touchdown.
The score, which put the Rebels up 20-10 with just over four minutes to go in the half, was the second connection between Dart and Prieskorn on the afternoon.
After the score, Prieskorn has six catches for 96 yards and two touchdowns, while Dart has completed 13 of 21 passes for 217 yards and the two touchdowns to his tight end.
The touchdown was the fourth score of the season, and he has now equaled his season total with his two on Saturday.

The Rebels are also now on the verge of having two 100-yard receivers in the first half alone. The Nittany Lions came into the game with the No. 3 ranked pass defense in the nation.
Unfortunately for the Rebels, the Nittany Lions were able to answer quickly on the next drive, with QB Drew Allar hitting Nicholas Singleton for a 48-yard touchdown, to cut the Rebels lead back down to 20-17.
