President Trump was in attendance for the Crimson Tide’s title clash with SEC rival Georgia. Mr. Trump took the field for the singing of the national anthem, the two teams coming out after the Star-Spangled Banner.
Scarbrough rushed for 23 yards on four carries and caught a pass in Alabama’s 26-23 overtime victory over the Bulldogs, the Crimson Tide winning their fifth title under coach Nick Saban.
