With University of Alabama junior wide receiver Amari Cooper expected to announce that he’s making the jump to the National Football League over the next few days, his impressive assault on various record books appears to be at an end.

Cooper finished the Sugar Bowl with nine receptions for 71 yards and two touchdowns.

That gave him 124 catches for 1,727 yards and 16 receiving touchdowns for the year, all Alabama single-season records. As a reminder the previous records were 78 (Julio Jones, 2010), 1,133 (Jones), and 11 (Cooper 2012).

For his career Cooper has 228 receptions for 3,463 yards and 31 touchdowns. The old marks were 194 (DJ Hall, 2004-07), 2,923 (Hall), and 18 (Dennis Homan, 1965-67).

Cooper’s season was 18th on the NCAA’s all-time receiving yards list, barely topping the 1,721 Marqise Lee had at Southern California in 2012 when his coach was current Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin.

The single-season record for receiving yards is 2,060, held by Nevada’s Trevor Insley in 1999. The record for a player in a power five conference is Michael Crabtree’s 1,962 with Texas Tech in 2007.

Meanwhile, Cooper finished in the top 10 for single-season receptions:

Incidentally, Cooper’s 1,750 all-purpose yards are the seventh most in Alabama history, and his 3,514 career yards 10th.

Junior running back T.J Yeldon had 10 carries for 47 yards and just missed moving into third among Alabama’s all-time leading rushers. He’s 244 yards shy of breaking Shaun Alexander’s school career record of 3,565.

As for Alabama offensive records, among those the Crimson Tide set in 2014:

Touchdowns rushing-passing: 67; 58 (1945, 2013)
Most completions: 290; 263 (2007)

Finally, freshman JK Scott set an Alabama record for best punt average in a game (five punts minimum) at 55.0. His 48.0 average for the season set another record (minimum 50 punts), and he’s obviously on pace to set the career record held by Greg Gantt (43.6, 1971-73).

The Alabama record book doesn’t include percentage of punts inside the 20 as a category, but Scott had 31 of his 55 do so (54.6 percent).
