Bryce Thompson has been a big contributor in the Vols’ secondary this season. He picked off a pass against ETSU and then again against Auburn. But he’s the only Tennessee defensive back with an interception this season. Interestingly, both of the Vols’ other interceptions have been by linebackers.
Five different Vols have recovered fumbles, and Alontae Taylor’s went for a touchdown against Auburn last weekend.
