Brian Robinson After Cotton Bowl Win: ‘We’re Going to Win the Natty and Repeat’

The Crimson Tide star had a dominant performance against Cincinnati.

Alabama running back Brian Robinson Jr. dominated Friday’s Cotton Bowl, rushing for 204 yards on 26 carries. He won the award for offensive player of the game, guiding Alabama football to a 27–6 win over Cincinnati and another national championship appearance against the winner of Michigan vs. Georgia. He wasn’t afraid to make a bold prediction for how that game will go after Friday's win.

As he accepted the award, Robinson laid out how he sees the Crimson Tide finishing up this season.

“We just know how to fight, we know how to fight ’til the end,” Robinson said. “We know how to come together as a team, as a unit. Man, we’re just, we’re just warriors. We fight to the end with everything we do. That’s why we’re going to win the natty and repeat.”
