So proud of our team. We hung in there, found a way to win at the end.

Our seniors, we talked about leaving a legacy for those guys

Shaun Shivers, Auburn running back

This goes down in the book. Everybody will be talking about this for years.

Nick Saban, Alabama head coach

We just didn’t play well enough, you’ve got to give their team a lot of credit because they fought back and did a great job in the game as well.

Jaylen Waddle, Alabama receiver

That penalty really hurt us but hats off to Auburn. They played a great game and they came out victorious.

Nick Saban, Alabama head coach

He’s got great speed, reads the blocks well, understands how to hit these things so that you can make big plays and that was obviously a big play in the game.
