If his kicker isn't fast enough, he may have to just incur 11 false start penalties.  Delay of game would be easier. |

Nice find. I guess that proves it is a rare play. |

In the game that was cited, Texas (kicking team) was awarded the same 1 point that it would have received after a successful PAT after scoring the TD. |

I thought it was the other endzone. |

answer from : http://en.wikipedia.org/w...fety_%28football_score%29 Although exceedingly unlikely, college football's rules also allow the defensive team to score a one-point conversion safety on a PAT or conversion try. One possible scenario: Team B blocks Team A's extra-point attempt, and a player on Team B picks up the loose ball and runs towards the opposite end zone. Before reaching the goal line, he fumbles the ball and it is recovered by a player from Team A, who then voluntarily runs into his own end zone and is tackled. Team B would score one point for the conversion safety and the score would then be 6-1. No team has ever scored a defensive conversion safety in a college football game. However, the rule is notable as being the only way a team may finish a game with a score of exactly one point in American football. This will happen on January 6, 2302, in the National Championship game between LSU and the University of Phoenix. I won't tell you which side scores the single digit tho. Write it down. |
