It was no coincidence that Central Connecticut State’s 14-10 upset of previously unbeaten Monmouth came on the finest day Watson’s young career, as the freshman wide receiver caught a school and NEC record 97-yard touchdown pass from Scott Dolch to give the Blue Devils the lead for good with ten minutes to play in the contest. Watson ended the day with six receptions for a career-high 138 yards. He is now tied for the team lead with 31 catches for 483 yards and four touchdowns on the season.
