"2015 DEFENSE MOVING UP IN SACK RANKINGS: The Crimson Tide defense has recorded 41 sacks so far this season, the most sacks by a Nick Saban coached team. The 41 sacks also ranks sixth all-time for team sack totals in a season. Next on the season total list is the 1995 team with 42. Alabama's all-time leader was the 1988 teams that recorded 60 sacks." - Rolltide.com

The most sacks that a Bama team has ever recorded in a single season was 60 sacks. Derrick Thomas had 27 of them. According to Al.com "During his 27-sack season, Thomas pushed quarterbacks back the length of two football fields - 204 yards for the year."

There will never be another Derrick Thomas. Definitely puts DT's career in perspective (52 sacks). It's a damn shame that Terrell Suggs has the most sacks in a career (44) and most sacks in a season (24)

27 sacks in one season. Holy hell. That may never be beaten.
