When someone in sports breaks a record, spectators will often say, "Records are meant to be broken." But select records are exempt from that old adage.

Some college football records are unlikely to be approached again, and there are multiple reasons for that reality. For starters, certain records are the result of uniquely talented players who we may never see the caliber of again.

But the biggest factor is a change in the way the game is played. Rosters aren't as thin anymore, with multiple talented players getting opportunities to share time on the field. For example, there are a lot less teams who count on one running back to attack defenses than there were in the prior to the 21st century. Increased tempo has also forced teams to rotate more athletes into lineups.

You can never say never, but we would be willing to bet these records are safe.
