What Nick Saban said after Alabama’s victory over Auburn in the Iron Bowl
Published:
Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide flashed another dominant performance on Saturday afternoon — as it defeated rival Auburn 30-12.
This Iron Bowl performance was led by a staunch defensive effort. Alabama held Auburn to only 182 yards of total offense — in addition to a 2-of-12 mark on third-down opportunities.
After the game, Saban spoke to the media:
Nick Saban: "This was a great win for team. Really proud of our team, especially for the way they played in the second half."
