One Point Conversion

[Willesgirl]

What the eff is that? Where I come from, we call it a PAT or an extra point. Also, if that announcer said, "Correction" one more time last night, I was going to lose absolutely lose it.

Great stuff as always fanning.

Our ineptitude is already enshrined in Wikipedia.

In American football, if what would normally be a safety is scored on a try, one point is awarded to the scoring team. This is known as the conversion safety and it can be scored by the offense. There are at least two known occurrences of the conversion safety in NCAA Division 1 football - a November 26, 2004 game between Texas and Texas A&M and the 2013 Fiesta Bowl. In both games the kick was blocked, recovered by the defense, and fumbled or thrown back into the end zone.

In college football a conversion safety can also be scored by the defense as well as the offense. While one has never been scored, a defensive conversion safety is the only possible way a team could finish with a single point in an American football game.

So an "offensive" conversion safety is actually pretty simple, if rare. Defense blocks the PAT or conversion, recovers the ball outside the end zone, then gets tackled in the end zone.

A defensive conversion safety is theoretically possible but would never happen. It would only occur if on the conversion attempt the offense was sacked 97 yards the other way in the opposite end zone. Maybe K-State can make some more history next year.

I think the best way a defensive safety could happen if it's blocked, the guy who returns it does a Nigel Malone and drops it right before the end zone, and the other team falls on it, idk, maybe that should be all it takes is to drop it into the end zone and let it sit there and have it blown dead, seeing how we got that ball at the half yard line, idk, now that would be a freakin' weird play, would love to see the refs figure that one out.

i enjoyed the outrage on from tucks twitter. as if we got screwed in some way.

[MadCat]

I think we should try for the defensive conversion safety just to separate ourselves from Texas vs Texas A&M

tucks look at every moment of the game that didn't matter instead of focusing on what went wrong.
