The Georgia Bulldogs concluded their season with a 23-10 loss to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Sugar Bowl, resulting in an 11-3 record.
Georgia’s offense outgained Notre Dame 296 to 244 yards, holding the Irish to just 90 passing yards and preventing any offensive touchdowns.
However, critical turnovers and penalties hindered their performance. A pivotal moment occurred late in the second quarter when quarterback Gunner Stockton was sacked by RJ Oben, leading to a fumble recovered by Notre Dame at Georgia’s 13-yard line. This turnover resulted in a touchdown pass by Notre Dame’s Riley Leonard, extending their lead.
Additionally, Georgia’s offensive line struggled, allowing four sacks and facing constant pressure from Notre Dame’s defense, which recorded nine tackles for loss.
Despite these challenges, Georgia’s defense managed to limit Notre Dame’s offensive production, showcasing resilience throughout the game. However, the combination of offensive miscues and Notre Dame’s opportunistic plays ultimately led to the Bulldogs’ defeat.
