Records are made to be broken, but maybe not these.
52 sacks by Alabama’s Derrick Thomas
Is this really a record? The Alabama linebacker compiled the total from 1985 through 1988, but the NCAA didn’t install sacks in its record book until 2000. The NFL started recording sacks in 1982, and some conferences got the jump on the NCAA, too, so Thomas’ name tops a list in the SEC record book that features Mississippi State’s Billy Jackson with 49 and no other player with more than 37.
There’s a related record to this one that has a lock on the SEC record book for the same reason – the 20 career interceptions by Ole Miss’ Bobby Wilson and LSU’s Chris Williams. That might not appear so out-of-reach, but Wilson played his final season for the Rebels in 1949 and Williams made his last appearance for the Tigers in 1980. Only four other SEC players have more than 16 career interceptions, and none of them played in the past 29 seasons.
The NCAA also decreed in 2004 that all individual defensive statistics would be compiled by the press-box statistics crew during the game. That eliminated the practice of taking tackle totals from coaches. No one in the conference’s career top 10 tacklers played after that demarcation. At the end of the 2022 season, the SEC’s leader in career tackles was Arkansas linebacker Bumper Pool with 441. No returning player in the conference is halfway to Spiva’s record.
Spiva’s record looks safe even though Troy’s Carlton Martial broke the NCAA FBS career record by reaching 577 tackles last season.Which of the Georgia running back’s SEC career records is the most unassailable? His 994 rushing attempts or 5,289 rushing yards? Both have stood for 40 seasons. Walker’s record was established in three seasons with Georgia, and two SEC ball-carriers have reached the 900-carry milestone in four-season careers without reaching Walker’s mark.
