Notre Dame still expected to face Georgia in Sugar Bowl after deadly truck attack in New Orleans

In the wake of a deadly New Year's Day attack on a crowd of revelers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, police indicated that Wednesday night's College Football Playoff Sugar Bowl quarterfinal between Georgia and Notre Dame at the Superdome will go on as planned. 

New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said police officers would work to ensure safety at the event, suggesting the Sugar Bowl will be held as scheduled at 7:45 p.m. Central time.

The Sugar Bowl Committee said in a statement that it is "devastated by the terrible events from early this morning," and said that it is in ongoing discussions with authorities.
