2018 Allstate Sugar Bowl Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban Quotes

On Tonight’s Opportunity:

"Well, I think what we wanted to do was re-establish our identity. I felt we lost it (inaudiable)...season. You know the guys overcame hard. They played hard in the game and we were physical, so I'm really proud of our team in terms of what they were able to do here today. So, we got a lot of things we need to get better at, but it's a great team win for us."

"I'm proud of the job that Kirby has done there. They have a great football team. It will be a challenging game for us, so we'll enjoy this one a little bit then we gotta get ready for that one pretty quick."
