Re: Texas vs Texas A&M WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
I think what they say happened is:
<ul type="square">[*]A&M "blocks" the kick (although a squirrel could have blocked that kick [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )[*]A&M then picks up the ball outside of the end zone, thus establishing posession.[*]The ball is still live, since in college you can return a PAT try for 2 pts.[*]A&M then loses possession of the ball, it goes into the endzone and is recovered by A&M.[*]Because they established possession outside of the endzone, it cannot be ruled a touchback; it's therefore a safety.[/list]As JBB said, on a PAT try, the safety only counts as a single point (not sure why though, since the kicking team has the opportunity to score 2 pts by getting into the endzone so it's not like they're being rewarded by getting extra, unavailable pts...)
