Saints running back and former Tennessee star Alvin Kamara had some fun with teammate Tyrann Mathieu after the Volunteers defeated LSU 40-13 on Saturday.

Kamara posted a video to Twitter on Wednesday from the New Orleans locker room showing Mathieu, a former Tigers safety, wearing an orange Volunteers hoodie. Mathieu was seemingly trying to hide his face with the hood over his head, but Kamara wouldn’t let him escape the trash talk.

“Damn, that boy look good,” Kamara said in the video. “Yeah, who that? Who that? Yeah, you know who that is. That’s that Badger, man. That’s what happens.”

But Kamara was not the only former Tennessee player to get in on the fun. Cornerbacks Bryce Thompson and Alontae Taylor, both of whom also played for the Volunteers, were standing alongside Kamara soaking in the moment as well.

Tennessee was dominant from the start Saturday against LSU, scoring 20 unanswered points to begin the game and never looking back. Running back Jabari Small led the charge for the Volunteers, finishing with 127 yards rushing and a pair of touchdowns.

Kamara and the rest of the Volunteers faithful have had plenty to celebrate so far this season, as Tennessee is off to its first 5-0 start since 2016. It is also ranked No. 6 in the AP poll, its highest mark since 2005.

However, the Volunteers face their biggest test all season on Saturday, when they will host No. 3 Alabama at 3:30 p.m. ET. It will be interesting to see whether Alvin Kamara makes a bet with former Crimson Tide running back Mark Ingram for that one, much like he did with Tyrann Mathieu.

As for the Saints, they are off to a 2-3 start this season and take on Cincinnati at 1 p.m. ET Sunday.
