NOTE: The Sugar Bowl between Notre Dame and Georgia was postponed in the wake of the New Orleans attack. The game will be played today, January 2nd at 4 p.m. ET.
Game snapshot: Between the Rose Bowl and this Sugar Bowl game, good luck picking winners. The Irish are coming off an impressive win over Indiana. Meanwhile, Georgia had no time to revel in its SEC Championship win over Texas after Carson Beck had season-ending UCL surgery. In his stead, Gunner Stockton has spent the better part of the past three weeks getting ready for his first start for the Bulldogs. Stockton was able to make it work in the second half of the conference championship against Texas, but can he do it for a full four quarters against Notre Dame’s pass defense?
