Blocked PAT rule

[redisgood]

It’s a weird one, but apparently if the defense blocks a PAT or recovers the ball on a 2 point attempt, then runs or fumbles it into their end zone and subsequently gets taken down, it’s a one point safety for the offense. According to Wikipedia it’s only happened twice in NCAA history. You may have seen one of those two.

Of course Cherry was on the scene.

Reminds me of one of the crazier endings I’ve ever seen: App vs Furman, 2002.

Furman took the lead 15-14 with 0:07 left, but — in retrospect, inexplicably — opted to go for two instead of the PAT and a squib kickoff then prevent against a Hail Mary. App picked-two the attempt for the 16-15 lead, and then Furman still had to kickoff (onsides attempt failed).

Not quite the Iron Bowl Kick 6, but still crazy.

^I remember listening to the end of that game on the way home from one of ours…Appy announcers justifiably went nuts.
