Alabama's on pace for its most sacks of the Nick Saban era.
Lost amid the eye-popping numbers Saturday -- and there were a bunch of them -- was a milestone for the Nick Saban era. What makes it so impressive is how unimpressive it actually seems for a defensive-minded program that's won three national championships since 2009.
Alabama finished with six sacks against Texas A&M. That's never happened since Saban arrived in 2007. It hadn't happened since Sept. 7, 2002, when Alabama had six in a losing effort against Oklahoma.
Twelve different players have had a hand in the Crimson Tide's 19 sacks on the season, a total that ranks a modest fourth in the SEC but is just three shy of the 22 Alabama had all last season. If Alabama keeps this pace, it will make a run at the previous high under Saban, 35 in 14 games in 2012.

So our inexperienced young and now injured O line has to face the best sacking line in the Saban Era at Bama??? Why does every team we face have one of the best D-lines in the Country?
Could we possibly give up more sacks than last week? Will Worley make it out in one piece? :cray:
