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.

Sure looked like an illegal forward pass before the eventual end of the play. Didn't matter, of course.

I agree with both claims. If the crew hadn't all been thinking "HOLY #*@%!," they might have grabbed that.

Think the FBS crews will be prepping that one before next season?

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

It was Texas A&M/Texas in '04. A similar thing happened, except the kick wasn't blocked in that game. The snap was mishandled and the ball kicked anyway -- which should have been a foul, but wasn't called -- and the defense recovered, and the rest of the play was similar to what happened last night.

I also appeared to be an illegal forward pass in the end zone, but the result would have been the same.

Yup. With the LJ crashing the line as the ball is still in play, not easy to see.

That woulda been a hell of a call.

I agree, it was definitely an illegal forward pass. Thought that as soon as I saw it.

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.
