What the Georgia Bulldogs can expect from Notre Dame during the Sugar Bowl. The Georgia Bulldogs will be taking on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Sugar B

It's hard not to look ahead to Jan. 1 because the Sugar Bowl vs. Georgia is a chance for Notre Dame football to change its perception.

Indiana came into the game with the No. 2 defense in the country and the No. 6 scoring defense. The Hoosiers also ranked No. 1 in rush defense, No. 9 in pass defense and had the No. 8 third-down defense in the country. Notre Dame surpassed Indiana's season average in each of those categories and almost doubled up their points allowed.
