Part 5/7:
While under lockdown, the Georgia Bulldogs maintained a shelter-in-place stance, ensuring the safety of their players and staff. As the day progressed and more information became available, the players were eventually allowed to conduct a light practice at the Superdome, showcasing their determination to remain focused amidst adversity. On the other hand, Notre Dame opted to practice in the hotel ballrooms, keeping safety as their top priority while also seeking to prepare adequately for the match.
As both teams dealt with the emotional weight of the situation, the coaches, particularly Georgia's Kirby Smart, experienced a range of emotions, with a primary focus on gathering information and ensuring the safety of their athletes.
