7 Notre Dame kicked off about 20 hours late, following a one-man attack on pedestrians in the French Quarter. Wednesday's attack prompted the Sugar Bowl's postponement with local law enforcement resources devoted to the crime scene, less than a mile from the Sugar Bowl's Superdome site. The deadly onslaught raised questions about future high-profile events in New Orleans, most notably the Super Bowl, which is set for Feb. 9 at the Superdome. The Bourbon Street attack hasn't shaken the NFL's belief in New Orleans as a Super Bowl host city.

The person who rented the Tesla Cybertruck that was used in an explosion outside the entrance of the Trump hotel in Las Vegas has been identified as an active-duty member of the U.S. Army's elite special forces unit, two U.S. defense officials said. An Army spokesperson said Livelsberger was on approved leave at the time and assigned to the U.S. Army Special Operations Command. “This activity is related to the explosion in Las Vegas,” the FBI said on X, declining to provide further details. Clark County/Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Sheriff Kevin McMahill told reporters Wednesday that the pickup truck and the Tesla in the Las Vegas explosion were rented from the same company, Turo. "We do not believe that either renter involved in the Las Vegas and New Orleans attacks had a criminal background that would have identified them as a security threat," the statement said.
