I started watching football in the 60s and didn't know this was a rule until sometime around this period. Just a strange play

The rule was made so even if you miss the extra point the other team tries to get it out it’s not a safety because that would give you the ball wich isn’t allowed so that saftey acts as a extra point

Can we just think about it this way? On the try, scoring is a little different: touchdowns are worth 2, field goals are worth 1, safeties are worth 1.

Yaaaaaawn!😅😅😅😅

That is amazing that it has only happened twice in NCAA history, and one of the announcers in the booth at this game was also at the other game where it happened!

I hope this happens in the NFL someday

what's so hard to explain about it? blocked, received outside opponent goal, then tackled in opponent goal.

Man Cherry aged a lot in the time since the "giving him the business" call a few years earlier.

So they basically just got the extra point 😂

So I’m confused I thought what had to happen was that the kick is blocked, returned for like 80 yards to the opposing teams end zone, than is fumbled recovered by the kicking team and then they’re tackled in there own end zone.

My only thing about this play is wasn't that a forward lateral from 44 to 3?

The play at 3:38 was just crazy. It's too bad he stepped out of bounds but even doing so, he made those 5 Auburn players look like middle school players in the end zone.

I was at this game GO DAWGS!!!

Did the kicker still get credit for the 1-point score?

I remember saying this right as it happened to my family. I was like...uh, Oregon gets the point for that since KSU inexplicably took the ball back into their own endzone.

As a referee, if i ever had to call this in a game i might quit on the spot

or press "v" to disable it

The RBU

I’m so glad we now have Kirby smart. I mean just look at the difference in the fundamentals and the discipline from then to now.

I come back to this video sometimes, I've been watching it since it came out. It's hard to understand how much things have changed and how much they've, paradoxically, stayed the same. I'll keep chasing this elusive high that is the one point safety. I'm like a dog chasing a car, I wouldn't know what to do with it if I caught it.

Yikes.. actually that's not bad for your first time

To make it even worse, the guy who recovered the kick threw a forward lateral, which would have also resulted in a safety even if they got it back out of the endzone.

You never would have thought a 1 pt. safety will ever occur until you somehow watch this vid

Want to see that in NFL playoffs

Thanks man, took me forever to figure this out for mac.

I reference this weekly just to sound smart

So they tried to kick the extra point but it got blocked so they didn’t get the extra point but they got a 1 point safety which basically was the same as making the extra point

Is CONFEEHHHRMED

GIVING HIM THE BUSINESS!!!!! 😂

Same announcer two 1 point safety's that's insane

Jon Bois

should have had an illegal forward pass flag, as well (which would be declined.)

I'm confused, at the end of the video you see the Oregon kicker, but if it was a safety, shouldn't Oregon get the ball back? Usually the team that gets the points after a safety gets the ball back

Imagine one day a 1-0 game

So lets say a team scores a TD and gets ahead 6-0 and is then going for 2 and the ball ends up rolling backwards and goes into THAT endzone and is recovered by the team going for 2....would the score then be 6-1?

Imagine losing by one point from a safety in When the game tie with 0 seconds left on the clock

Imagine a team doing the opposite and get a safety on the kicking team thus allowing them to have a score of 6-1. If you bet a dollar on a 6-1 final score football game the payout I have heard is around a billion dollars. I also heard Vegas won't make that bet on the offset it actually does happen but I think that's all rumors

That was actually a forward pass so I guess it still counts because it’s a spot foul?

Well imho Safety should be 2 no matter what (although I guess on converts it's different, but hell imho it should just 2 point converts no kicks and if the other side gets the ball and returns it to the other endzone, TD and a Amazing Play to be!). Yet in this game, means nothing as Oregon is going to win and likley does.

The guy in this commercial is soooo 🔥!!

The rule should be changed to were Oregon gets the ball back plus 1 point. Give them a reward better than one point if it's so rare

this guy ruined everything for fullbacks lmao

Thank you

This ain't a reeeaal one point safety but I'm glad everyone else is having it that a team scored literally one point

I think the ruling here should have been slightly different. On the attempted lateral by the Kansas State player who caught the blocked kick, it looks like he passed the ball forwards, not backwards. That should have been a penalty for an illegal forward pass. Since the penalty occurred in the end zone it still would have been a safety though.

I didn't care about either of these teams, but I remember watching this game thinking "Wow! I didn't know there was such thing as a one point safety".

So it happened to Nessler twice?

I love the fans cheering for the one point safety! 👏

Would it be a 1 point safety for the other team if the defense blocked the kick and returned it down the field but right before they got it into the endzone the kicking team stripped the ball and recovered the ball but then was tackled in the end zone by the non kicking team? If so that's the only way a team could potentially end a game with the score of just 1 point for them.

Third ig 😂
