1 point safety
I posted on FB,
"K-State block Oregon's PAT. The ball is recovered by KSU in the field of play. The player runs into his own end zone, tosses the ball to a teammate who fumbles the ball and is tackle in the end zone. Isn't that a 1 point safety?" Upon the return from commercial, Ron Cherry confirmed my suspicions. Never seen it before. |
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. Peace |

Rarest play in NCAA Football (1pt safety) - YouTube |
Just saw the replay on Sportscenter, including the white-hat's address to the crowd.
Thought he did a great job of explaining. |

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? |

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.

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