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....

The defense has played winning football for the past 2 games.  It's a nice, championship-esque trend.
