The Georgia Bulldogs lost 23-10 in the 2025 Sugar Bowl (College Football Playoff quarterfinal) to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Georgia played well defensively, but two turnovers and allowing 17 points (one touchdown after a fumble and a kickoff return for a touchdown) in 54 seconds doomed UGA.

“I think both defenses played well, and we turned the ball over and they didn’t. And they (Notre Dame) gave us problems in the pass game with the sack and the sack fumble. So give them a lot of credit,” said Georgia head coach Kirby Smart after the game.

Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton made his first career start against Notre Dame. Stockton played alright, but the Georgia offense just was not productive enough.

Notre Dame advances to play Penn State in the playoff semifinals. The Fighting Irish outcoached Georgia and run the ball much more effectively than Georgia. UGA finishes the season 11-3 and as SEC champions.
