The Notre Dame Fighting Irish got off to a rough start in the Sugar Bowl against the Georgia Bulldogs in a CFP quarterfinal game Thursday afternoon.
It was a rough start for Notre Dame in its College Football Playoff quarterfinal game against Georgia Thursday. The Fighting Irish began the Sugar Bowl with back-to-back penalties on defense and another on quarterback Riley Leonard on Notre’s Dame’s opening drive. Defensive lineman Bryce Young, a true freshman, was called for back-to-back running into the kicker penalties after colliding with Georgia punter Drew Miller. The first resulted in a 5-yard penalty, but the second penalty was declined.
The Sugar Bowl is being played in the Superdome in New Orleans Thursday after being postponed a day after a deadly terror attack on Bourbon Street that claimed the lives of at least 15 people and injured dozens more.
