onejayhawk Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 The one point Safety. A player can extend out of bounds onto the field. Fair catch on a kick-off free kick. Are there any other very unusual plays that can happen? J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riceman80 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Doug Flutie's infamous drop kick field goal was great. If a snap goes thru a QBs legs while taking a snap under center, he must be the first offensive player to touch it. Ah, Brian Griese memories...

Happened to Oregon or Kansas St I think several years ago Correct. In a PAT situation, touches are worth two points and all other scores are worth one. Here is a video of a kicker kicking the ball twice on the same play. It was blocked and he kicked it off the bounce. Still counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In college this is theoretically possible if on a point after attempt, the defense recovers, returns it nearly to the endzone for two points, and then fumbles with the kicking team recovering the ball, which he advances but ultimately goes back into the endzone and tackled for a safety. This would make the defending team score one point, which in theory could lead to a team having only 1 point. Alternately, a member of the kicking team could do this on purpose by simply taking the ball and running it to the other side of the field. This has never happened... Honestly if I'm coaching a college game against one of those low-division teams and I'm already blowing them out 80-0 or something, I would tell my guys to give them a point for the lols.

This can result in a team having exactly one point, and it has never happened. The rules in college allow for this; the NFL rules explicitly state only the kicking team may score a 1-point safety.

Wait a minute, is it a one point safety in both scenarios? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
