The rare 1-point Safety?

[Agoodnap]

I didn't know a 1 point safety existed.

Weird play all around. If Oregon recovered the fumble it would have been two points on a blocked extra point.

has it ever happened before?

I didn't know it existed. hmmm... you learn something everyday.

has it ever happened before?

Yes, there was one a few years ago in a college game which was the first time I saw it.

 

[Nashville Lion]

Wow. I did not know it

I remember that happening also. At that time, I did not think you could score 1 point without a touchdown in front of it. But you can.

Despite the safety, KSU still received the kickoff I assume?

Sure - one point is what Big 10(14) officials are instructed to credit PSU if, in fact, we were to initiate a safety against UMich or tOSU!

Anyone wanting to be a Moderator has to know these nuances!

there was a td in front of it so I think you were correct

ink it has to do with the conversion play (PAT or 2PT conversion) being a dead ball play. A close relative to the 2-point conversion interception return by Andre Collins in the 89? Holiday Bowl.

I don't believe that this is considered to be a safety. It would be considered to be a 1pt blocked extra point return. A close relative to the 2-point conversion interception return by Andre Collins in the 89? Holiday Bowl.

NO - watch the play. The D blocked the point but returned it (negatively) into their own end zone.
