Irish Battle the Big Dawgs

Notre Dame and Georgia face off on New Years Night at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. This playoff quarterfinal game is the last of four to be played at the traditional major bowl sites. The winner earns a berth in the national semifinals on January 9th in Miami. ESPN will televise the game beginning at 8:45 PM Eastern time. It will follow ESPN’s coverage of the Rose Bowl starting at 5:00 PM.

These schools played in 2017 and 2019 with the Dawgs winning in tight, low-scoring contests. Much the same is expected on Wednesday as both defenses have dominated most of their opponents.
