Each new football season offers the chance for players and teams to accomplish feats never before imagined. Whether it’s a graduate transfer quarterback setting a new NCAA record for completion percentage or a star running back chasing down Herschel’s record for consecutive 100-yard games, football carries with it the potential to achieve something truly incredible.

Some records, however, have stood the test of time. It’s hard to imagine they will ever be touched.

Here are five Georgia records that will never be broken:

Most rushing yards in a career – 5,259 yards, Herschel Walker (1980-82)

Of course the first entry on this list would be a record set by the incomparable Herschel Walker. The legendary running back still stands at the pinnacle of Georgia football, and this record is a large reason.

Walker burst onto the scene as a true freshman for the Bulldogs, carrying the ball 274 times for 1,616 yards and 15 touchdowns in Georgia’s 1980 championship season (By God, a freshman!). He followed that magnificent start by rushing for an obscene 1,891 yards in his sophomore year and another 1,752 yards as a junior.

The 5,259 yards that Walker gained on the ground during is three seasons in Athens is nearly 2,000 yards more than Todd Gurley, who gained the next-highest amount with 3,285 yards from 2012-14.

It’s not only the most in Georgia and SEC history, but also still the NCAA record for a three-year career.

Walker’s record stands as a testament to the historical ability of the best player to ever don silver britches. In today’s football landscape, there may never be another player who is capable of amassing such a high total on the ground.

Most carries in a three-year period – 994 carries, Herschel Walker (1980-82)

In truth, this entire list could be composed of his records. This record goes hand-in-hand with the one prior; it’s unlikely any player will gain 5,259 yards in their career at Georgia because it’s unlikely he will carry the ball as often as Walker did.

Over a three-year period, Walker averaged 30.1 carries per game and 331.3 carries per season. By comparison, in Nick Chubb’s workhorse 2014 season, the All-SEC back carried the ball 219 times.

Herschel’s 994 carries in his three years at Georgia still stand as an NCAA record. The next player in the Bulldogs’ record books is Lars Tate, who carried the ball 615 times over the span of four years. With one extra season, Tate still falls 379 carries short. That’s how incredible this record truly is.

Most team rush attempts in a game – 89 vs Kentucky (1967)

Even before Herschel played between the hedges, Georgia wasn’t afraid to rely on a strong ground attack.

In a 31-7 victory at Kentucky, the No. 6-ranked Bulldogs ran the ball an incredible 89 times. Under Vince Dooley, Georgia became one of the top schools in college football on the back of its running game.

The only other time in school history that Georgia has broken the 80-carry threshold came in 1969, when the Bulldogs ran the ball 81 times against South Carolina. Given the evolution of football and the reliance on passing, it’s extremely unlikely that another Bulldogs team will come near such a high carry total.

Most interceptions thrown in a game – 8, Zeke Bratkowski vs Georgia Tech

Considered one of the best quarterbacks of his time, Zeke Bratkowski makes our list for an unfortunate reason. In an era dominated by offenses predicated on running the football, the All-American quarterback threw the ball 734 times for 4,863 yards and 24 touchdowns from 1951-53.

While he was a pioneer in his time, Bratkowski also threw a terrifying 68 interceptions. That total is high enough to garner its own section on this list, but it’s his 8-interception performance against Georgia Tech in 1951 that earns the recognition.

In today’s short-leash era, there likely won’t ever be a quarterback capable of throwing anywhere near that many interceptions without getting benched. Bratkowski’s mark is representative of the way played the game, even if it isn’t something worth bragging about.

At least Bratkowski doesn’t hold the SEC record. That belongs to former Florida QB John Reaves, who threw nine against Auburn in 1969.

Fewest passing yards allowed in a season – 642 yards (1973)

In 2014, Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday set the NCAA single-game passing record by throwing for 734 yards in a 60-59 loss(!) to California. Halliday accounted for 92 more yards through the air than the Bulldogs defense surrendered in the entirety of the 1973 season.

That’s not to highlight the greatness of Halliday or the 1973 Georgia defense, but rather to illustrate how much the game has changed. With more offenses predicated on passing, holding opposing teams to under 1,000 yards in that category over the course of a season just won’t happen.

Georgia allowed the second-fewest yards through the air (2,034) in 2015, and led the country by allowing only 156.5 yards per game. For the Bulldogs defense to match the 642 yards allowed over the course of the 1973 season, they would have to limit opponents to only 53.5 yards per game – and that’s only accounting for 12 games.
