Early odds for the Allstate Sugar Bowl

On December 25, 2024By Littum

The first round of the College Football Playoff lived up to expectations, then Notre Dame Fighting Irish claimed a quarterfinal berth after defeating Indiana Hoosiers in snowy South Bend, Indiana. The Fighting Irish will meet no. 2 seeded Georgia Bulldogs in the Allstate Sugar Bowl.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish secured their first playoff win in the new era of the College Football Playoff with a 27-17 win over Indiana. Quarterback Riley Leonard turned in a stellar performance against the Hoosiers, completing 71.9% of his passes for 201 yards, a touchdown and an interception while also scoring a touchdown on the ground. Defensively, safety Xavier Watts was the standout player, recording 10 tackles and an interception to help the Fighting Irish earn the victory.

The Bulldogs, who received a bye, are gearing up for a run at the College Football Playoff without their starting quarterback, Carson Beck. He is likely to be sidelined with an elbow injury on his throwing arm suffered on the final play of the first half of the SEC Championship game against Texas. This injury forced him to leave the match early. Sophomore Gunner Stockton stepped in and successfully led the Bulldogs to a 22-19 victory. Gunner has a 78.1% completion rate and has thrown for 206 yards in the three games he has played this season. He is expected to lead the attack forward.
