Notre Dame Fighting Irish routs Indiana in College Football Playoff to set up Sugar Bowl date with Georgia
In a resounding victory, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish defeated the Indiana Hoosiers 27-17 in the first round of the new 12-team playoff. The win sets up a thrilling matchup against Georgia for the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day.
The game was all but over after an early 98-yard touchdown run by Jeremiyah Love, which gave Notre Dame a commanding 14-0 lead. The Irish would not look back, riding that momentum to seal their spot in the Sugar Bowl.
Riley Leonard led the team with 23 completed passes out of 32 attempts for 201 yards, while Jordan Faison paced the Irish offense with seven receptions for 89 yards.
While Indiana fought valiantly, they ultimately fell short. Despite a late push by the Hoosiers, scoring two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to make the final score slightly more respectable, it was too little too late.
Notre Dame will now take on Georgia in the Sugar Bowl, a game that promises to be an instant classic.
