Sugar Bowl Kickoff Time Again Adjusted for Notre Dame vs. Georgia Showdown
The postponed Sugar Bowl between Notre Dame and Georgia is changing times again.
Instead of being played at 8:45 p.m. ET on Thursday night the game is now going to kickoff at 4:00 p.m. ET instead. This comes after both coaching staffs reportedly requested an earlier start time following the announcement of the game being pushed back a day. The game is still set to be broadcast on ESPN.
Pete Thamel of ESPN was the first to report the news on Wednesday afternoon.
Per ESPN sources, the Sugar Bowl will kick off tomorrow at 4 pm Eastern. https://t.co/oEjhIjGzDG

The move makes sense for Notre Dame and Georgia, as the winner gets advances to take on Penn State in the Orange Bowl on January 9 in Miami.
Penn State already had extra rest going into the Orange Bowl as it played and defeated Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl on Tuesday night. The Nittany Lions will now have nine days rest before the national semi-final while the winner of the Sugar Bowl will have just a week.
In the relm of things a roughly four hour difference in kickoff times might not seem like much but certainly every hour is valuable when you get to this point in the season.
We will continue to keep you updated here at Notre Dame on Sports Illustrated throughout the day.

Dell McGee’s defensive staff overhaul as he enters Year 3 atop the Georgia State program is getting its most significant piece of the puzzle, FootballScoop has learned.
McGee is hiring Cam Clark, a senior analyst on Duke coach Manny Diaz’s 2025 Atlantic Coast Conference Champions staff, to run the Georgia State defense, sources tell FootballScoop.
It’s a notable hire for McGee, who is seeking to turn around Georgia State after going just 4-20 in his first two seasons at the helm.
While Clark arrives at Georgia State after assisting the Duke Blue Devils offense, his background is in defensive coaching.
He served two years as defensive coordinator at Football Championship Subdivision program Western Illinois, and he also ran the defense at Lamar University. Additionally, Clark was defensive coordinator at Georgia prep powerhouse Thomas County Central High School.
A former star player at Harding University, Clark obtained his master’s degree from Auburn University, where he served as a graduate assistant.
He has additional Football Bowls Subdivision experience from coaching under both Hugh Freeze and Gus Malzahn while serving on their respective staffs at Arkansas State.
