It defeated Alabama after a seven-game losing streak and captured its first national championship since 1980.
Here are the comments made by head coach Kirby Smart and his team following the heartfelt 33-18 triumph in Indianapolis:

“Well, let me start by saying that I have the utmost respect for the Alabama football program and team. They battled valiantly and lost one of their best players in the game, but they never gave up. I have the utmost respect for them. Much admiration for Coach Saban, who was really complimentary following the game.
