It was Saturday but Smoke Monday was sizzling, anyway.
The Auburn DB picked off a pass from Tennessee’s Jarrett Guarantano in the second quarter of the SEC contest and returned it 100 yards for a touchdown to give the Tigers a 20-10 lead.

The 4-star safety has a reason for shedding the first name in favor of the nickname: family. “It came from my granddad,” Monday told reporters in 2017. “I used to just run around the house, so he started calling me ‘Smoke.’”
In case you were wondering, he goes by “Smoke” because his given name is Quindarious.
