The highly anticipated Sugar Bowl clash between Georgia and Notre Dame, originally set for Wednesday night, has been rescheduled for Thursday in the wake of a devastating terror attack in New Orleans.
The game, part of the 2024-25 College Football Playoff quarterfinals, is the final matchup in this round and has been overshadowed by the tragic events.
Early Wednesday morning, chaos erupted on Bourbon Street as a driver in a white pickup truck plowed into pedestrians, leaving 10 dead and 35 injured. The suspect, 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, was fatally shot during a confrontation with police. Authorities have since confirmed the FBI is treating the incident as an act of terrorism.
The rescheduling of the Sugar Bowl underscores the gravity of the situation as the city mourns and begins to heal. Both teams have expressed condolences to the victims and their families, with statements emphasizing solidarity during this tragic time.
