Tennessee’s success has set up a monumental matchup with No. 3 Georgia on Saturday, with the winner of the game "between the hedges" setting itself up for a berth in the SEC championship game while establishing itself as the top team in the country.
Alumni from both schools will be streaming into Athens, Georgia, for the contest, including Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker, a candidate for U.S. Senate in Georgia.
Walker, who won the Heisman in 1982 as a running back at Georgia, is running against Democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock.
On Friday, as the college football world prepares for Saturday’s tilt between the Bulldogs and the Vols, Walker took a shot at Warnock for having a campaign bus with Tennessee license plates.

"Another example of Raphael Warnock failing to stand with the people of Georgia," Walker said in a press release. "Instead of supporting a Georgia business, Warnock used his California campaign dollars to buy a bus from Tennessee. He might as well have painted his bus orange and played ‘Rocky Top’ all day.
