Sugar Bowl Announcement Could Lead to Another Delay for Notre Dame-Georgia

The Sugar Bowl matchup between Notre Dame and Georgia was postponed by a day after an attack in New Orleans left 10 people dead and many more injured, but a new announcement could put the game at risk of another move.

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill told Lester Holt of NBC News that she would like to see the game moved back again, taking place on Friday instead of Thursday. The game had initially been scheduled for Wednesday evening but was moved back as authorities continued to respond to the tragic attack.

"Not my decision, but I would like to see it delayed at least another day," Murrill said. "If they asked my opinion, I would tell them that."

There was no indication whether Sugar Bowl officials could add a further delay to the College Football Playoff game. Sugar Bowl CEO Jeff Hundley said on Wednesday that the game was delayed as a measure of safety as officials conducted a security sweep at the Superdome after improvised explosive devices were found at the scene of the attack. 

"Public safety is paramount," Hundley told reporters, via ESPN. "All parties all agree that it's in the best interest of everybody and public safety that we postpone the game."
