Notre Dame utilized contributions from all three phases to grind out a program-defining 23-10 playoff victory over Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. Coach Marcus Freeman and his staff called an aggressive and truly outstanding game. The Fighting Irish were fearless throughout the evening against a physically gifted team that usually punishes opponents. A 17-point scoring burst in 54 seconds of action gave Notre Dame a 20-3 cushion early in the third quarter. Although Georgia refused to quit, the Irish defense stayed strong. At the same time, Riley Leonard and the offense made several gritty plays to seal the win.
