Alabama star receiver Germie Bernard closed what is likely the final postgame press conference of his college football career by invoking his faith, giving "glory to my Lord and Savior."

"I just want to give glory to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for allowing us to have this opportunity, for allowing this team to be here together in California and to enjoy this moment," he said as the player portion of the presser was wrapping up.

"Even though it didn’t go the way we wanted it to, there’s still a lot to be grateful for."

"Guys like TK, he went through injury and was able to play throughout the season. Guys were able to play in this game that weren’t healthy throughout the whole year and we were able to walk off the field healthy. So it’s just a lot to be grateful for and I just want to give glory to Jesus Christ for this opportunity."
