Getting 2 pts. in college ball

[Mack10]

becuas the ball is dead. Don't know the college rules that well, but if he runs 90 yds to his opponents end zone, if he gets ANY points, shouldn't it be 6??

I did see a doube OT game once where on the last play of the 2nd OT, B picks up a blocked FG attempt at the 1 foot line and runs it 99.5 yds to win the game. Now THAT was a worthwhile run.

On a try, the "D" may score only two points. A field goal attempt is different.

No. the kicking team would not get six points if they made a conversion.

had changed in college. In my book B shouldn't ever be able to score ANY points as a result -- even indirectly -- of a touchdown by A. Seems as bizarre to me as allowing A to score a FG on a kickoff after a TD. But since my book isn't the NCAA rule book, my opinion doesn't mean jacksquat. Thanks for the explanation.

I think that "B" can also score one point if "A" somehow gets a saftey on a try. This might be true in both NCAA & NFHS.

And A can score 1 point if they get a safety on B as well. Happened in a Texas A&M game either last year or the year before, in fact.

2004 Texas A&M/Texas at Austin. However, they missed the illegal kick on the play.

REPLY: Not for NFHS...B can never score on a try by Team A under any circumstances. So, if by weird chance, A retreated 98 yards and downed the ball in his own endzone, the try is over and no points are scored. Likewise if he fumbled it in his own endzone and B jumped on it, try is over, no points scored.

I know you meant except in Oregon for at least this season.

Welcome to the 90's - this rule changed almost 20 years ago.
