The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are going to have their hands full when they take on the LSU Tigers in the Sugar Bowl on January 3. The Irish come into the game ranked 11th while the Tigers come into the game ranked 4th. Tigers quarterback JaMarcus Russell is third in the country in passing efficiency, having completed 68.5 percent of his throws. The Fighting Irish will also have to contend with the nation’s second-ranked defense. The Irish won the last time these two teams met in 1998 by a score of 39-36.

Fans looking to get their hands on Fighting Irish tickets to the Sugar Bowl need to act fast. Sugar Bowl Tickets are still available through Stubhub.com, but Sugar Bowl tickets are also becoming scarce. LSU is sold out, so Irish fans are the last hopefuls for making it down to the game.
