With Rylie Mills out, Notre Dame faces a tough test against Georgia. Explore strategies, key players, and adjustments for the big game.

Taking a dive into the offensive side of the ball for the Georgia Bulldogs ahead of their match with Notre Dame

The Bulldogs have dominated the all-time series against the Irish, even though the past two on-campus matchups came down to the very end.

With the Fighting Irish being the "away" team at the neutral site in New Orleans, the traditional white uniform and gold pants combination would be most likely. It can be reasonably anticipated that Georgia will wear red, leaving Notre Dame with a good amount of creative freedom if it chooses to stray away from white.

Now, Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame have the chance for a program-validating win on New Year’s Day in the Sugar Bowl against Georgia. Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs have been the standard of excellence in college football recently.

The conclusion of the first-ever on-campus game in the College Football Playoff has set the stage for our first quarterfinal matchup in the new 12-team format. Notre Dame will advance to face Georgia in the Sugar Bowl on Jan.

Marcus Freeman has had an interesting journey in his short tenure as the head man at Notre Dame. There have been some really terrific and encouraging bright spots, but also many letdowns and head-scratching moments as well.

We are less than a week until the Notre Dame Fighting Irish travel down to New Orleans to take on the Georgia Bulldogs. The Sugar Bowl, which has a great history, is only going to get bigger and better as the second round of the College Football Playoffs rage on.
