AUBURN, Ala. -- "Whoa nellie! Whoa nellie!"

Alabama analyst Dean Altobelli shouted so loud in celebration that his words could be heard through the metal door and cinder block walls that separated the visitors locker room from the awaiting media next door.

Saban then sat down and tried to explain a win that few could have seen coming.
