2004 Texas vs. ATM
LINK
But because the Longhorns' regular holder, wide receiver Tony Jeffery, left the game earlier with a rib injury, backup QB Matt Nordgren was sent in and he dropped the snap, causing Dusty Mangum to drive the kick along the ground.
The ensuing scrum ended with the Aggies' Jaxson Appel on top of the ball in the end zone, giving Texas a rare 1-point safety that tied the game at 13.
"I'm a little embarrassed," Brown said. "I didn't know that was a rule."
Said A&M coach Dennis Franchione, "I don't know that I've ever seen a one-point safety. That was a unique call."

Come on, OhioVol...how did it happen? Blocked PAT that got booted and batted back up the field until it went out the back of the other endzone? QB running for his life on a 2 pt attempt getting sacked for a safety?
What I saw was the team that blocked it recovered it right outside their own endzone and they ended up going backwards for a safety, so the team that missed the extra point got a 1 point safety and it was just as if they made the kick.
It would be pretty incredible for the team that gave up the touchdown to get the one point safety.
eta: I'm pretty sure it was the game in the post above me. I'm almost positive I remember A&M playing.

can you score a drop kick in college or is that just the pros? I think it was that doug flutie that kicked one several years ago.

You can, it was Flutie, and it counts the same as a normal place kick.

The only way I see it as possible is either a pick on a 2pt. conversion or a block on a PAT being run back by the other team, the player fumbling near the goal line, and then the attempting team recovering in the endzone.
That isn't a safety on a normal play or on a PAT, because there was a change of possession. Once you have a clear change of possession, it would be like any other fumble you recover in your own endzone.

I'm pretty sure the defense can't advance a blocked kick on a PAT
A blocked PAT can be advanced by the defense. It is treated just like a FG attempt:
ARTICLE 1. The point or points shall be scored according to the point values in Rule 8-1-1 if the try results in what would be a touchdown, safety (Exception: Rule 8-3-4-a) or field goal under rules governing play at other
times.

Are you serious? You've had 499 previous posts - were any othem about football?
Are you implying that because I said it was possible for a team to only score 1 point in a football game it means that I don't know anything about football?
Care to amend that statement now that I've schooled you on the rules?
