NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The College Football Playoff quarterfinal at the Sugar Bowl between Georgia and Notre Dame has been postponed after a truck plowed into a New Year’s crowd about a mile away early Wednesday, killing at least 10 people.

The game, originally scheduled for Wednesday night at the 70,000-seat Superdome, has been pushed back 24 hours to Thursday night.

“For now, that’s the plan,” Sugar Bowl CEO Jeff Hundley said.

The Superdome was on lockdown for security sweeps on Wednesday morning, when people with offices in the Superdome — including officials with the Sugar Bowl and Sun Belt Conference — were told not to come into work until further notice.

3. Earlier in the day the CBS Sports NCAA Football score site said the start

was to be 7:45 pm (CST). Now the site says the start will be 3:00pm. The Gator Bowl was scheduled to start at 7:00 pm anyway, and that time hasn't changed.
