Watching the Texas/Texas A&M, anyone else ever hear about a 1 point safety

[y2jrevolution]

Texas was just awarded 1 point. I've been watching college football a long time and have never seen a 1 point score, other than the PAT of course

One point? I'm at work so I'm missing it.

Interesting...I've never seen it before either. I may have to check this out.

Did they block a PAT attempt and run it back? I think they award one point on a play like that.

 

[The Shiznit]

If you find out how why, please post. I've never seen it done before.

 

[Admiral Ackbar]

I don't see anything about it ont eh eespn or cnnsi play by play.

Texas was kicking an extra point. It got blocked or something. Anyway, the ball then bounced around in the endzone and an A&M guy fell on it. Of course he was then down, thus making it a safety. Pretty weird....

 

[y2jrevolution]

Heres what happened, Texas was attempting a PAT. The holder drops the ball and the kicker still kicks it off of the ground. It goes to about the 3 yard line, there is then a scramble for the ball, an A&M player picks it up, he fumbles it and the ball goes into the endzone when another A&M player fall onto it in the endzone. Therefore they ruled a 1 point fumble safety? The ball should be dead

You explained it a lot better than I though

 

[Admiral Ackbar]

The score at cnnsi doesn't reflect any 1 poitn safety so I assume a zebra messed up and then it got ruled dead.

 

[y2jrevolution]

I was tring to give Admiral Ackbar a mental picture since he is at work.

 

[johnnyoski]

Now that's something you don't see everyday.

I don't think they screwed up, I just saw the replay on ESPN and they called it a 1-point safety. No mention of the refs blowing the call or anything. Must just be one of those strange rules that only comes into play once every 35 years or so.

They prob just counted it on there stats as a PAT, which was not the case

You can have a 1 point safety in the NCAA if its on a PAT. Only in the NCAA though.

I don't watch college football, so I don't have to deal with these stupid rules and bullshit "rankings". Not to deride the quality of the play on the field, but the NCAA as a governing body sucks.

Is their score wrong or are they just way delayed? No mention of a point anywhere there.
