Sugar Bowl Postponed After Deadly New Orleans Attack

The Sugar Bowl, originally set for January 1, has been postponed to January 2 following a deadly attack in New Orleans that killed at least 10 people and injured dozens. A truck intentionally drove into a crowd on Bourbon Street early Wednesday morning, and the suspect was killed by police after firing at officers. The FBI is investigating the incident as a potential act of terrorism, having discovered explosive devices at the scene and in the suspect's vehicle. Sugar Bowl CEO Jeff Hundley confirmed the new kickoff time will be 8:45 p.m. ET on Thursday, with heightened security measures in place. Officials emphasized that the decision to postpone was made in consultation with multiple parties for public safety. The University of Georgia and Notre Dame, who were set to compete, are currently under a shelter-in-place order as investigations continue.
