The game between Georgia and Notre Dame in the Suger Bowl was said to still be on despite the tragedy in New Orleans.
Authorities are calling the French Quarter attack that killed at least 10 people and injured 35 others an act of terrorism.
Just hours before Notre Dame and Georgia were set to play in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, tragedy struck when a yet-to-be-identified man purposely drove his white truck, which had Texas plates, through a crowd to kill as many people as possible.
However, we now have conflicting reports.
WGNO is now reporting that workers assigned to tonight’s College Football Playoff game have been told “not to show up for work at this time.”
Soon after that report, the Sugar Bowl released its second statement of the day.
“The Sugar Bowl Committee is devastated by the terrible events from early this morning. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families,” the Sugar Bowl said in its latest statement. “We are in ongoing discussions with authorities on the local, state, and federal levels and will communicate further details as they become available.”
The Sugar Bowl Could Be Pushed To Another Day
Three huge College Football games are scheduled to take place on January 1, one of which is in New Orleans.
A man drove a pickup truck into a crowded street, killing ten people and putting the Sugar Bowl at risk of cancellation.
The incident was immediately labeled a terrorist attack.
There is no indication that the sporting event at Caesar’s Stadium in New Orleans will be postponed to another day, which would throw off the remaining playoff schedule.

If this was the end for Jalen Milroe at Alabama, he went out in the worst way possible.
Many fans thought the Crimson Tide should’ve been in the 12-team playoff, even with their losses. They proved early on against the Michigan Wolverines that they did not belong.
The Crimson Tide turned the ball over three times in a span of four plays during the opening 15 minutes as Michigan jumped out to a 16-0 lead.
Jalen Milroe could get nothing done.
The Michigan Wolverines seemed to know how to contain him, and all they needed to do was look at his feet.
A damning video online has surfaced of a guy exposing the Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback for tipping plays to his opponents.
