The senior Golden Ram returned the game's opening kick-off 93 yards for a touchdown and then raced back a 53-yard interception for a second score on his opponent, rival Wildcats of Fort Valley State's third offensive play for a 14-0 lead only 47 seconds into the day. The defensive back added a second interception on the third offensive play of the third quarter down to the Fort Valley 2-yard line where ASU scored on the ensuing play of what would be a 49-0 victory.

For the day, Watts from Tyrone, Ga., who was named the Fountain City Classic MVP, finished the day with four total tackles and a pass breakup to go with his pair of key interceptions with 88 return yards. He also had 93 kick return yards for the first touchdown.

Watts and the Golden Rams (5-5) seek to extend the program's current run of winning seasons to 25 years. ASU heads to northwest Georgia where it will take on Shorter University in a 1 p.m. kick-off Saturday afternoon (Nov. 14) in Rome, Ga.
