No. 7 Notre Dame prevails over No. 2 Georgia in Sugar Bowl to reach CFP semifinals

LA Times  

Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton is tackled by Notre Dame safety Adon Shuler during the second half of the Fighting Irish’s 23-10 Sugar Bowl victory Thursday. Riley Leonard passed for a touchdown, Jayden Harrison returned a kickoff 98 yards for a score, and Notre Dame’s defense made it hold up in a 23-10 victory over Georgia in the Sugar Bowl on Thursday that sent the Fighting Irish into the semifinals of the College Football Playoff. “We jumped offsides.” By the time the Bulldogs got the ball back, just 1:49 remained, and Notre Dame was well on its way to its 12th straight victory and a date with No. Georgia closed the gap to 20-10 when Stockton hit reserve running back Cash Jones for a 32-yard score before Jeter’s third field goal of the game gave the Irish their winning margin.
