What Nick Saban said following Alabama's Iron Bowl victory over Auburn

Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide pulled a rabbit out of a hat against Auburn Saturday evening.

The Crimson Tide pulled off an unreal 4th and goal touchdown from the 30-yard line to score the go-ahead touchdown and take a 27-24 lead.

Saban spoke to reporters following the game:

Saban said that Week 13’s escape over the Tigers is a “reality check” for next week’s SEC Championship matchup against Georgia. The Crimson Tide are still in the running for the CFP after a miracle win Saturday night.

Nick Saban said it’s a “reality check” for Alabama players and they need to fix things before playing Georgia next week.

Ultimately, Saban kept his postgame presser brief. “It was an unbelievable game,” that’s the only way to describe it.
