I found this part pretty crazy as well
And yes, this has happened before, during a 2004 game between Texas and Texas A&M. After returning a blocked punt for a touchdown, Texas had its point-after try blocked by the Aggies. A&M then went through the same rigmarole as Kansas State, giving the Longhorns the one-point safety. What's really amazing: ESPN's Brad Nessler called that game in 2004 and Thursday's Fiesta Bowl. What are the odds? |

I knew the rule because of the Texas-Aggie game a few years back.
Trivia: That was Derrick Johnson's last regular season game as a Longhorn. (Then they played in the Rose Bowl and beat my Wolverines by 1 point) |

It is a very odd rule. How does a safety equal 1 point? How does K-State not have to free kick after said safety? I think it should be called something other than a safety.

i assume this is an NCAA only rule? I've been watching NFL games for 35 years now and can't ever recall a 1pt safety. Seems like kind of a stupid rule...
