Can you tell me what the rule is? Is it a new rule?
ESPN - Penn State Nittany Lions vs. Michigan Wolverines Play-by-Play, October 15 2005 - NCAA College Football
The above link is to the 2005 Michigan PSU game. Michigan down by 4 with 1 seconds left throws a TD pass to go up 27-25. This is the last play of the game. If you look at other scores ESPN calls out the extra point attempts as plays.
I remember watching this game. Michigan scored and the fans rushed the field and the game ended (PSU was undefeated #6 at the time). They did not kick the extra point.
At the time I didn't think anything of it but after seeing a few more games where this happened me and a friend started talking about the rule and want to try and get it answered.
