College Football Playoff: Notre Dame gets marquee Sugar Bowl win over Georgia to advance to CFP semifinals

Notre Dame has a postseason win over Georgia. And it can thank a one-minute stretch over the second and third quarters for the victory.

The No. 7 Fighting Irish scored 17 points in 54 seconds sandwiching halftime on the way to a 23-10 win over the No. 2 Bulldogs in the Sugar Bowl on Thursday. Notre Dame will play Penn State in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 9 for a spot in the College Football Playoff national title game after the Sugar Bowl was delayed a day by the horrific terror attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans early Wednesday morning.
