The video, which was not even clear enough to definitely say the words came from Scarbrough, was just nine seconds long, but it made its way across the internet as the nation was captivated by President Donald Trump's trip to watch the Crimson Tide take on Georgia at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
