Countdown to SEC kickoff: 28 days

If you were ranking the SEC individual records most likely to never be broken, which ones would be at the very top of that list? One that immediately comes to mind was set going on 25 years ago by perhaps the greatest pass-rusher to ever play the game. To this day, that number almost seems unfathomable: 27. The late Derrick Thomas registered 27 sacks during the 1988 season and finished his Alabama career with 52 sacks. Both are SEC records, and nobody has come close to those numbers since Thomas left the Capstone for NFL stardom. Read more...

I found this gem down in WALL-E World.  RIP 55

Is it realistic to think that Clowney could make a run at Thomas’ record this season?

That's a tall order, even for the likes of Clowney. He'll be double teamed all year and even with his talent, I don't think he comes close.

I mentioned in another thread recently that the Clowney reminded me of DT #55. It will be hard to get 27 sacks in a single year. That record may stand for a long time.

DT was on good defensive teams at Alabama. He was well coached too. His DC was Joe Kines and the LB coach was Sly Croom.

If he stays healthy then I could definitely see him break DT's record of 27 sacks in a single game...against Coastal Carolina.
