As the old saying goes, to the victor go the spoils. For the normally reserved Alabama head coach Nick Saban, that means letting your hair down for just a bit to revel in a win for the ages.
No. 3 Alabama needed every inch to pull off a wild quadruple overtime win over Auburn on Saturday, 24-22, to keep the Tide's playoff hopes alive. The Alabama locker room was unsurprisingly a party scene after the win. What was less expected was Saban joining in on the fun.
Alabama trailed, 10-3, with 1:32 remaining and the ball on its own 3-yard line with no timeouts when quarterback Bryce Young engineered a 97-yard scoring drive to send the game into overtime.
