Georgia Faces Notre Dame in Sugar Bowl

As the Georgia Bulldogs prepare for the Allstate Sugar Bowl against Notre Dame, quarterback Gunner Stockton is stepping into the starting role following Carson Beck's season-ending injury. Offensive coordinator Mike Bobo emphasized the challenges posed by Notre Dame's formidable defense, which ranks highly in multiple categories, including turnovers gained and passing efficiency defense. Defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann noted the unique challenges of facing a team they haven't played in nearly five years, allowing for a fresh game plan. Meanwhile, Notre Dame's offense, led by Riley Leonard, will aim to exploit Georgia's defensive vulnerabilities, particularly in the passing game. Key players like running back Jeremiyah Love are crucial for Notre Dame's strategy, as they look to counter Georgia's dominant defensive style. The matchup kicks off on New Year's Day at 8:45 p.m. ET, with significant implications for both teams' playoff aspirations.
