Both Davis and Joseph returned interceptions for touchdowns on back-to-back possessions. Joseph brought one back to the house to start things off with a 41-yard return early in the second quarter before Davis ran back an 85-yard pick for another score on the next Vol possession.

Davis finished his impressive day with 12 tackles, five of them solo, to go along with his pick-6. Bossman Fat, who has received plenty of criticism over the first few weeks of the season, responded with arguably his best outing as a Wildcat, recording four tackles (two solo) in addition to a pass deflection and his pick-6.
