alocispepraluger102 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 http://deadspin.com/5973048/only-two-one+point-safeties-have-ever-happened-in-ncaa-football-history-and-brad-nessler-called-them-both?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_facebook&utm_source=deadspin_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow Tonight's mostly-boring Fiesta Bowl has featured the expected Oregon offensive firepower, but it's how they scored a single point that will make this a game to remember. After a third-quarter touchdown put the Ducks up 31-10 on Kansas State, the Wildcats blocked Oregon's extra point try, recovered it outside of the end zone, then retreated into the own end zone where they were tackled for what the NCAA officially calls a "try safety." That's worth one point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim McG Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I have never even heard of this one. Is the NCAA just making things up as they go along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 There was one about 8 years ago in a Texas vs Texas A&M game. I think that's the last one that has happened in college football, so they're pretty rare. Not sure why this merits it's own thread, though.
