This will be the fourth matchup between Georgia and Notre Dame. The Bulldogs have won each of the first three. It’s the second time these two teams will meet in New Orleans with the first coming in 1981. That one was for the National Championship with Georgia winning 17-10.
The last two matchups have taken place since Kirby Smart became Georgia’s head coach. The first was in 2017, a 20-19 Bulldog victory in Jake Fromm‘s first career start. The Sugar Bowl will also be Gunner Stockton‘s first start with Carson Beck expected to miss at least the Sugar Bowl and likely more time should Georgia advance.That game took place in South Bend and the two teams would meet two years later in Athens with UGA prevailing once again, this time by a score of 23-17.
