So yesterday I got my copy of the 2010 Alabama Football Media Guide and spent the better part of the day digging through its treasure trove of information. Of particular interest to me for our coverage of the upcoming season was the update to the Alabama Record Book. There's a version of the record book online but it's only current through 2008 and it was pretty obvious watching the Crimson Tide roll through last season there was going to be some serious changes to be made.
And, boy howdy, were there ever. Turns out Mark Ingram, Greg McElroy, Javier Arenas and Leigh Tiffin pretty much re-wrote the damn thing. And a number of folks like P.J. Fitzgerald and Mark Barron set totals that aren't likely to be surpassed in the near future. So, just to keep you all informed, here are the Alabama school records set during the 2009 season as per the new media guide.
