1 point safety

[JugglingReferee]

I called it! As a trivia buff, this is one of those plays that is a great trivia question.

Can B score anything if they return the ball for a TD? If not, then I think the Canadian rule is better: it's dead when B is deemed to have possession.

It is more likely to happen in a college game because the play is not immediately dead on a blocked kick or even a fumble recovery.

I am hearing it last happen in a Texas-Texas Tech game in 2004.

According to the boxscore, nope.

Just saw the replay on Sportscenter, including the white-hat's address to the crowd.

Thought he did a great job of explaining.

Indeed he did.

Now, if Oregon had gone for two and fumbled at the two, and K-State did the same thing, running into the end zone and get stopped there, would it be a two point safety?

No. Why would it be. If Oregon went for two, and it was intercepted and returned all the way, would KSU get 6 pts? Of course not.

The scoring for a safety during a try is 1 point. Period.

On a try in the NCAA, a TD is worth 2 points and a safety with worth 1 point, regardless of which team scores.

I love ignorant announcers. I contend that they need a real official in the booth, not to be on the air but to tell them the rules.

I think that makes it less likely to happen, because they don't get a chance to run the ball out of the end zone. Of course they don't get a chance to run it into it either, but I don't think that's as likely to happen as supplying impetus to a loose ball in the field of play that puts it into your own end zone.

Yes...they would get 2 points.
