Nick Saban‘s wife, Miss Terry, welcomed the defensive back Terrion Arnold with a warm hug after he and his team conquered the Iron Bowl on Saturday. And that’s exactly what the young athlete needed. Moments like this are what make college football more special.

The Iron Bowl, held at the Jordan-Hare Stadium, ought to go crazy, especially with the long-due Alabama-Auburn rivalry. But the actual fun began as the fourth quarter approached when it was probable for Auburn to score the victory. But with a three-score lead, Alabama took the victory from underneath them at 27-24.

Interestingly, in the final play of this mega matchup, it was Arnold whose charm worked. As he picked off Auburn QB Payton Thorne and brought the pass into the end zone, in an attempt to walk off a pick-six and end the game with a 33-24 lead for Alabama Crimson Tide.

As Arnold went out of the boundary near the 3-yard line, the touchdown was later called in for review. That’s why his thrilling and crazy game ended, as Alabama brought home the title of 88th Iron Bowl trophy.

As the game ended, and the defensive back returned, there she was, Miss Terry, waiting for him. Head coach Saban and his wife share a very special bond with the young athlete, or what he calls “kind of buddied.” And they sure looked like one. Arnold went straight to hug her, and she cried with excitement saying “Oh my god!!“

What’s the famous Alabama-Auburn rivalry?

At that time, the victory was ultimately claimed by the Tigers, as they won the game 32-32, spilling the first blood of their famous rivalry. Ever since then, these two teams have been working on turning all the cards in their favor against one another.
