In this almost unique to A&M play this is what happens when the PAT block team is ruled to have recovered a failed attempt outside the endzone and be downed inside the endzone.

What is a Safety

1 point safety to be exact. 1 of only two to ever happen happened to us in 2004

I remember that. I wasn't at the game. I remember pacing around the livingroom holding a Coors Light. Good history review.
Do you guys know why American football rules always have, and continue to, prevent a team's being able to score just one point?

My guess would be to cut down on ties But honestly don't know the reasoning

It's because 1 - 0 is the official way to document a forfeit. If you're looking through the historical record and see a score of 1-0 then you know that the "loser's" train derailed, its bus broke down, or much of the team was out with yellow fever or swine flu.
To my knowledge American football is the only sport that can denote a forfeit without wasting space or ink for an asterisk and footnote. In the wide world of sport there are probably others, but I'm not really a wide world of sports type guy.

Another quirk of this rarity is that Brad Nessler was the announcer for both games it happened in. The other being a BCS game between K-State and Oregon.
