I have not seen this occur, but Team A can score a safety (1 point!) on a try in the following manner:
[NFHS rules] Try @ B3. A runs a sweep, but is hit and fumbles near the goal line. The ball is rolling away from the goal line when a B player, diving to get the ball, muffs it back, and it hits the pylon. (Or goes into the EZ and is recovered by B, or goes into and out of the EZ, etc.) On a normal play, this is a safety - B has forced the ball into his own endzone and it is dead there. On a try, it's STILL a safety, but A only scores 1 point, and A is still kicking off next.* Under NCAA rules, the muff isn't a new force - it would have to be a bat. I just didn't want to introduce a foul into the play. * - Yes, I know B could theoretically decide to kickoff. No need to confuse the issue. :P |

Bob, wasn't there a bowl game a few years back where it happened and Castleberry was the R? I recall discussion on this board, or maybe McGriff's about it.

Did some Googling and found it.
Friday, November 26, 2004 Texas vs Texas A&M Cooper Castleberry was the R. Here is the game report. http://mackbrown-texasfootball.com/p...004/GAME11.HTM Here is a blog about it. http://beldar.blogs.com/beldarblog/2...that_long.html Here is an little on how it happened. Texas holder Matt Nordgren dropped the snap, Dusty Mangum kicked the ball into the line and it rolled away just shy of the goal line. In the ensuing scramble for the football, officials ruled that A&M had gained possession of the ball then fumbled it into the end zone. A&M safety Jaxson Appel recovered the fumble just before several Texas defenders pounced on him. Game officials conferred for about a minute before ruling that the Longhorns would get a point for downing Appel in the end zone. The mostly orange-clad crowd of 83,891 exploded into cheers once the scoreboard recorded the point, tying the game at 13-all. Last edited by MJT; Mon Jul 09, 2007 at 10:39pm. |

Interesting rule. So it is possible to have a score of 1-0 in game.
I thought that was only possible in Canada, with our Rouge. Did you know that in the CFL, it is possible for B to intercept (or recover a fumble) an A convert attempt and run it back for a 2-point touchdown?

No team can only have scored 1 point. The only way in NF for a team to score 1 point is on a try and the defense can not score. In the play in question the touchdown-scoring team tackled the other team for a safety. So the score went from 6-13 to 12-13 to 13-13.
That is except for a forfeit, official score is 1-0 unless the game was started and the team that forfeited was trailing at the time, then the score stands. The only problem on the Texas/TAM play was that it was an illegal kick and Texas should not been allowed to score due to the foul. |

If the 1 point safety is going to occur, it will almost certainly do so as in the A&M game. |

Team A scores a TD and is lined up for the Try. The kick is blocked and recovered and advanced by Team B 90 yards where a Team A player strips the ball and recovers the ball on the bounce. He then tries to avoid the B player and runs into his own end zone where he is tackled. Ruling: 1 pt. Safety for B. |
