Sugar Bowl updates: Everything we know about the status of the playoff game between Notre Dame and Georgia A deadly attack in New Orleans has cast a shadow on Wednesday night’s college football playoff matchup between Notre Dame and Georgia.
Besides ringing in the new year, tens of thousands of University of Georgia and Notre Dame fans descended upon New Orleans to attend the Allstate Sugar Bowl, one of this year’s College Football Playoff games.
While the New Orleans mayor described the incident as a “terrorist attack” and the city’s police superintendent said the driver was “hellbent” on killing “as may people as he possibly could,” federal law enforcement is still looking into the motives of the suspect, who is believed to be dead.
At least ten people are dead and over 30 injured after an assailant plowed into a crowd of revelers celebrating New Year’s festivities in New Orleans’ popular French Quarter neighborhood.
Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said in a press conference on Wednesday morning that she wanted the city and its visitors to “continue enjoying” New Orleans despite the horrific attack.
