Report: New kickoff time being discussed for Sugar Bowl following postponement
A new kickoff time for Thursday’s Sugar Bowl matchup is being discussed, according to a report from Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger.
The expectation is that the game between Georgia and Notre Dame would be moved up to 4 p.m. ET instead of its previously anticipated 8:45 p.m. ET time slot. It was previously reported that the game would be postponed 24 hours in response to the “act of terror” that occured early Wednesday morning in New Orleans where a driver killed 10 people and injured over 30 more.
The suspect, who was killed by police after exchanging gunfire, apparently had an ISIS flag with him at the time of the attack. That connection to the terrorist organization has led to an increase in caution with how authorities are addressing the attack. Multiple explosive devices were supposedly found in the truck that he used to commit the attack.
In response, there has been an abundance of caution moving forward at the Sugar Bowl and throughout the city of New Orleans itself. That included taking the time to sweep the Superdome, where the game is held, for possible explosive devices.
