Despite a deadly shooting in New Orleans on New Year's Day, the College Football Playoff quarterfinal game between Georgia and Notre Dame will proceed as scheduled.
The College Football Playoff quarterfinal contest between Georgia and Notre Dame will kick off as previously scheduled despite increased police presence around the Superdome. An incident that left 10 dead and more than two dozen wounded in the early hours of New Year's Day has impacted police presence around the quarterfinal at Caesars Superdome, but city officials say the game between the Georgia Bulldogs and Notre Dame Fighting Irish will go on as scheduled.
The incident happened around 3:15 a.m. Wednesday when a driver in a pickup truck sped through a crowd of pedestrians along Bourbon Street in the city's French Quarter district. The FBI said the driver of the vehicle was dead and that he was killed in a firefight with police following the attack. Bodies described as 'horribly disfigured' were lying on the street, according to a man who witnessed the harrowing scene along Bourbon and Canal streets in an interview Wednesday morning. He compared the carnage on the streets to something he'd previously seen only in movies. No. 2 Georgia and No. 5 Notre Dame are set to kick off 7:45 p.m. local time (8:45 p.m. ET/5:45 p.m. PT) in the second-oldest bowl game in a livestream of the game can be found on DirecTV, Hulu with Live TV, Fubo, YouTube TV and more
