Following the terror attacks in New Orleans, Georgia Bulldogs’ fans are getting ready to cheer on the Dawgs Thursday afternoon in the now-postponed Sugar Bowl.

Officials say new security measures will be in place during the game.

Following the terror attack in the French Quarter, Sugar Bowl CEO Jeff Hundley said the decision to postpone the game was out of an abundance of caution, not a lack of confidence in authorities to secure the Super Dome.

New Orleans City Council President Helena Morena says local, state, and federal law enforcement are in the city to ensure the game is safe.

Our coverage begins at noon. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. here on your home for the Dawgs.
