20 college football records that will never be broken

16. Individual passes intercepted in one game: Four different players, 5

While three others have been able to at least match the current single-game interception mark since it was originally set in 1942, it’s hard to imagine a lone defender besting the group with six picks in one contest.

Oklahoma State’s Lee Cook, Brown’s Walt Pastuszak, Houston’s Byron Beaver and Miami Ohio’s Dan Rebsch are the four individuals to record five interceptions in a single game. Despite college football games featuring as many as 120 pass attempts on the regular in the modern era, no player has piled up five picks in a game since Rebsch accomplished the feat in 1972.

Cook may own the most historically significant performance out of those four players to accomplish the feat. In a 1942 blowout win over Detroit University, Oklahoma State recorded 10 interceptions to set a Division I team record in a single game, another mark which is likely to never be topped.

Pastuszak, who also served as a quarterback for the Bears, recorded his effort in a 46-0 win over Rhode Island in 1949, one of the best seasons in Brown program history. Beaver picked off Baylor four times in a 19-0 win over Baylor to open the 1962 season before Rebsch became the fourth player in the records books a decade later with a stalwart performance against Western Michigan.

None of those four record setters played at the next level, but they will forever own a piece of college football history.
