Tennessee is obviously happy to have running backs Jalen Hurd and Alvin Kamara both back for another season.

The Vols released this video to make sure their fans share that excitement.

The duo is dubbed “Run CMG” with CMG standing for chain-moving gang, and the highlights are played in correlation to the Run DMC song “It’s Tricky.”

That certainly describes how difficult it is to stop the pair as the two spearheaded a Tennessee rushing attack that accumulated 223.7 yards per game, 2nd-best in the SEC, to go with 32 rushing touchdowns.

Of course, quarterback Josh Dobbs played a factor in that as well, leading all SEC quarterbacks in rushing yards (671) and rushing TDs (11).
