Waitaminute. Doesn't the T now put you in a situation where the free throws are shot with the lane cleared?

And even in the codes (NCAA and Canadian) that do allow the defense to score during a conversion, a "safety" is only worth one. To get two requires what would be a touchdown on a normal play.

Perhaps the Arena Football rule: after the one-minute warning (translate that to two, obviously) in the 4th quarter, if the offense has the lead and doesn't gain yardage on a play, the clock stops.

65 teams means 64 games. The two figures were equal only from 1976 (abolition of the regional third-place games) through 1981 (the last year of a national third-place game).

In the mixed intramural leagues at Vandy when I went there, they had even suddener death--the team that had the last possession gets one free throw. Make it, you win. Miss it, you lose.
