Is 1 the only impossible score to have in football? with the combinations of safety, FG, TD, XP, I can't think of any other point total that can't be reached.

yes it's off season and I don't go on vacation until tomorrow....I'm terribly bored.

and for those of you who will say 1 pt safety, that is only possible If you scored the TD

If a game is forfeitted isn't the score recorded as "1 - 0"?

Actually you can score one. Remember a few years ago when someone in one of our games was awarded one point on a safety. I forget the circumstances of the play but it seems like if that was the only score in the game it would end 1-0.

2-0? what about a safety?

Basically, an extra point could be blocked I think, and somehow recovered and run in for 1 point.

mike, he was referring to a forfeited game, but the score of a forfeit is indeed 1-0

quote:
ARTICLE 2. The score of a forfeited game, or a suspended game that later
results in a forfeiture, shall be: Offended Team—1, Opponent—0. If the
offended team is ahead at the time of forfeit, the score stands (Rules 3-3-3-a
and b, and Rules 9-2-3-a and b).

that is regarded as a touchdown, and you are awarded 2 points.

on PAT's, a safety =1 pt, and a TD = 2pts.

The Ags beat zero-u 1-0 in 2005. . .. remember?

I thought on an extra point a team can only get as many points as the try was for. So if a team blocked the extra point and ran it back it'd only be for 1 point?

In the modern game?

There are lots of impossible final scores...

21-21
14-14
35-35....

I think you guys get my point.

that's not correct.

if a team, down by 7, scores a TD with no time remaining, lines up for the PAT to tie it, but fakes the PAT and gets a TD, they are awarded 2 points. Similarly, if you block the kick and return it for a TD, you are awarded 2 points. see austin 3 yrs ago for the 1 pt safety. If somehow you managed to get the QB to run 100 yards backwards on a 2 pt conversion, and tackeld him for a safety, you'd get 1 point.

i think a blocked extra point goes for 2 points...but remember in the tu game of 2005? We blocked something (field goal/extra point) and somehow they ended up STILL getting a point. That STILL boggles the mind.

We blocked the extra point and it went into their end zone. We recovered, went out of the end zone, then ran back into it to try and run around some people, then were tackled. Since we advanced out of the endzone and got tackled in it on a recovered PAT attempt, it was a 1-point safety.

It is possible to score a 1. I read an article that detailed it. It is the most outrageous situation ever.
polish german
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I'll try to simplify it for you guys:

after a touchdown, regardless if you go for 2 or kick, the scoring rules change. a TD is worth 2 points, no matter who scores it, a safety is worth 1 point no matter who scores it, a FG is worth 1 point. the gameplay rules don't change, just the scoring rules.


edit: bgreen, if you'd try to comprehend what you read, you'd realize I wasn't talking about tie games, and you wouldn't waste time with idiotic posts.

WHat if you blocked an opponents PAT picked up the ball and ran downfield and drop kicked it through your goalposts on the run.


Just kidding...

leaving for vacation in a few hrs as well.

I don't think the Ags ever left the end zone on that tea-sip blocked kick. There was some other reason for the 1 point "safety". I still don't understand it though.
polish german

we blocked the kick, recovered it around the 5 and started to run, fumbled it into the endzone, and recovered and got tackled it in the endzone.

same thing as handing it off on your own 1, the RB fumbles and the QB picks it up in the endzone but gets tackled in the EZ. safety, the only difference was since it was on a PAT the safety=1 not 2

Waste time with idiotic posts, polish? I thought you were bored at work, just like me, not on a serious fact finding mission with no time to spare reading a few lines of chicanery.

Seriously, everyone else found it in their hearts to ignore my silly little post, what the heck is your problem that you can't?

Even in the case of a blocked PAT, 1-point safety, that means the other team just scored 6, so a score of 1-0 is not possible. 6-1…maybe

College football's rules allow either team to score a one-point safety after a touchdown. Say that Team B blocks Team A's extra-point attempt, and a player on Team B picks up the ball on the 1-yard line. Looking for an opening, the player with the ball runs backwards two yards, where he is tackled. Team A receives one point, and the score is now 7-0. Team A then kicks off from its own 35-yard line. This has happened at least once before, in a game between Texas and Texas A&M in 2004.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_(football_score)

quote:
Another scenario would be if Team B had blocked the kick (or recovered a turnover) and began to run the ball back 100 yards toward Team A's endzone, but at the last moment a pursuer from Team A knocked the ball loose. If the player from Team A were to pick up the ball, then run into his own endzone and be tackled, Team B would score one point, and the score would then be 6-1. Not only has this never happened, but it probably never will given the rarity of a block, a last second fumble, and a bad choice on the part of whoever recovered the fumble. It is notable, however, for being the only possible way to finish a regulation game with a score of exactly one point in American football.

Another fun thing to look up would be rarest scores.

My guesses are 2-0, 4-2, and 5-2.

A team can end the game with 1 point. The most likely scenario for that to happen would be that Team A scores a TD and lines up to kick the PAT. Team B blocks the PAT, recovers the ball and starts to run it back for the 2-point score. Before Team B gets to the end zone, a player from Team A punches the ball out like Jordan Peterson did against Mizzou last year. Team A then recovers the ball in the field of play but momentum carries the Team A player into the end zone where he is tackled for a 1-point safety.

Edit: nm, wakebrad had it covered.

depending on where he recovered the ball it might not, the rule states if you recover /intercept a ball between the 5 and goal line, and your momentum carries you in the endzone where you are tackled, the ball is placed where you recovered/intercepted, so that play you stated would result in zero points
