(New Orleans, LA) — Officials say the Sugar Bowl game between Georgia and Notre Dame in New Orleans will kick off today at 3 p.m. Central. Former longtime FBI official, Rob D’Amico, says other college bowl games and big New Years events stepped up security following yesterday morning’s attack, but accounting for every possible scenario is still a challenge.
The Sugar Bowl game in New Orleans was postponed after at least 15 people were killed and dozens more injured when a man drove a pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street early Wednesday morning. Georgia’s president confirmed a student was injured in the attack. Democratic Representative Troy Carter from Louisiana said the decision to postpone the game was not done lightly. He added it was done with one single thing in mind — public safety.
