Mark Heim

Saban on facing Kirby Smart in the national title game: "I'm proud of the job Kirby's done there. They have a great football team, so it will be a challenging game for us. Enjoy this one for a little bit, but then we have to get ready for that one pretty quick."

Saban on Payne's INT and TD catch: "He's played well for us all year long. He's a great athlete for a big guy so he got a chance to make some plays today."

Mark Heim

Saban after the game: I think what we wanted to do was re-establish our identity. We probably lost it in the last game of the season. The guys overcame. They played hard in the game. They were really physical I'm real proud of our team and what they were able to do here today. We have a lot of things we need to get better at, but this is a great team win."

Jennings and Cotton both out with knee injuries...
