“On behalf of a proud Auburn family, we are more than delighted to once again play in the BCS National Championship Game.  This has been a season for the ages.  I could not be more proud of our student-athletes who turned Auburn football around through hard work, preparation and belief in each other. Congratulations to Coach Malzahn and his staff for a superb performance. Coach Malzahn has truly been an inspirational leader.” – Jay Jacobs
