In the MSU/IOWA game, Iowa scored in the final play of regulation to take a two point lead. The clock expired on the play.

The officials ruled that the extra point had to be run before the game was over.

Is this because the score differential was 2 and MSU could have tied the game by returning a missed try, or was it because extra points HAVE to be attempted, not matter what?


Is the rule the same in the NFL?
