The game will doubtless be legendary in Bama folklore simply due to its statistical awesomeness. If the rest of the season pans out, though, it could become mythical.
JessN: Texas A&M wrap-up: Seriously, where did this come from?

Jess, I'm curious about this point.
TAMU's offensive line was allowing 1.4 sacks a game already. Even with their quick passes. Their OL hasn't been what it was the previous seasons.
What's going on with special teams?!?! First time we haven't blocked an extra point attempt!!!
I went to the game (sat in top row of the north end zone), and noticed a couple of positive things:
- The team seemed very loose on the sideline, and to me, it was the first time I've noticed since I started going to UA. Loved it, but I also hope the team can continue playing loose like that.
- The third quarter crowd was the loudest I've ever heard of a third quarter crowd at Bryant-Denny, and I loved it.
- The A&M fans in my section began leaving after Christion Jones' long punt return in the second quarter. That kind of surprised me.

Jekyll and Hyde. I never know what to expect from this team. I just hope the team we saw last week continues to show up. But I'm still nervous about every game we have left on the schedule.
As for the fans' expectations? This week showed (again) what this team is capable of. Therefore, the fans had every right to be disappointed in how we played against Arkansas. Maybe the criticism after that game, and the reaction from the coaches, has helped this team form an identity. We'll see as the season progresses. I still think playing UT in Knoxville this weekend will be tough.
