Record-holder: Dominique Davis, East Carolina But to do so in just five games is potentially unsustainable, and that's why Sanders' record, amid a season in which he rushed for 2,628 yards in just 11 games (!), is safe in our opinion.ĬRYSTAL BALL: 5 predictions for the 2021 college football season Most consecutive passes completed in a season Rushing for 1,500 yards in a season is a terrific accomplishment for a player - one likely to earn the player all-conference, if not All-America, honors. Even as the length of the college football season has increased to 15 games for the teams that advance to the College Football Playoff National Championship, in order for Sanders' record to be broken, it would still require a player who plays for a national finalist to rush for at least 300 yards in one out of every three games in a single season. So, Sanders' Heisman-winning season in '88 - when he ran for 332 yards against Texas Tech, 320 yards against Kansas State, 312 yards against Kansas and 304 yards against Tulsa - hasn't been matched by any other running back in their c areer, let alone a single season. Sanders, the 1988 Heisman Trophy winner and College Football Hall of Fame inductee, also holds the career record for most games with at least 300 rushing yards. Record-holder: Barry Sanders, Oklahoma State Oklahoma State Athletics Most games gaining 300 rushing yards or more in a season Here are seven FBS records that (we think) will never be broken.
But we're putting these types of records off to the side, because they're unbreakable based on the size of the playing field and the rules of the game. It's impossible for someone to break Nevada punter Pat Brady's 99-yard punt without having a touchback, and similarly, no player will ever top the record of a 100-yard return of an extra-point attempt, which is held by eight different players. Of course, some records are literally unbreakable. (Looking at you, Liberty quarterback Malik Willis, Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder, and Ohio State wide receivers Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson.)īut scan through the FBS record book and you'll find other records in the highest level of college football that are likely so untouchable - either due to rule changes and the evolution of the game, or due to a flash of brilliance (or the opposite of brilliance) - that we think they'll stand in the history books forever. There are a handful of FBS records and milestones that could be broken and reached this season, respectively.
