1 Point Safety Awarded

Was surfing YouTube and saw this. Coach Fran didn't seem to be upset about the call, but the commentators were confused. So if the defense blocks an extra point and recovers it in their own end zone, the kicking team is awarded 1 point? It is counted as a change of possession and a safety, but only 1 point is awarded.
Texas - Texas A&M one point safety
Texas - Texas A&M one point safety

For those of you college kids home for Christmas break, don't stay out so late. Your dad will lay awake at night worrying where you are, surfing YouTube and Tigerdroppings forums to pass the time until you get home.

It's awarded if the XPT or 2PT try is recovered by the defense in the field of play and THEN taken back into the end zone and downed by tackle or otherwise.
It happened in the Fiesta Bowl a few years back.

Yes, it's not worth a full safety, but neither is a defensive TD in that situation, which is only given 2 points.

Apparently, yes. I also saw that it happened in the Fiesta Bowl with Oregon and Kansas State. One of the same announcers from the Texas/Texas A&M game was announcing the Oregon/KState game, too. (What are the odds?)
KState/Oregon

Just saw BranchDawg beat me to it.

It can also happen when a team is going for the extra point or 2 pt conversion and that said team gets tackled back in the opposite end zone.

fascinating
so, for this rule to apply, the defense has to:
1 stop the extra point try
2 recover the ball outside of the endzone
3 wind up getting tackled in the endzone
and they get 1 or 2 points, depending on what the offense was going for at the time
is that correct?

No. If that happens, the OFFENSE gets 1 point. It's basically a safety AGAINST the defense, but it's only one point since it's an XPT/2PT try.
And it's always only 1 point regardless.

ok - I misunderstood; the offense has to fumble the ball, or run it back 90 - 95 yards & recover in the endzone & the defense gets 1 point
I like it

Now that would be a helluva play. A 97 yard sack? A fumble that gets booted 97 yards back up field and then fallen on? It's the only way a game could end with a score like 6-1. I don't know that a 1 point safety has ever happened where the defense scored the point.
The 1 point safety is probably the rarest play in football and one that the vast majority of fans aren't aware of. Any safety that occurs in an extra point try...either a kick or a 2 pt. conversion...is only worth one point.

I was at that game. That was just one of about 30 fricked up things that happened during the game.

I would prefer a 2-1 score.. two safeties with one being on an extra point attempt.

unpossible

That's related to the only way that a team can score one point in a game. A game could end 6-1 if Team A scored a TD, but the extra point was blocked. Team B is returning the extra point, but it gets stripped prior to their returning it for a two points and goes into Team A's endzone, loose. Team A then collects the loose ball, and attempts to return it back to their side of the field, only to be tackled in their own endzone for a one point safety. It's never happened, but it's possible.
And the score would be 6-1.

I don't think they recovered it in the end zone. They recovered it outside the end zone and the guy with the ball ran back into the end zone and fell to the ground. I think that was the reason for the 1 point being awarded.

I remember watching the 2004 UT/aTm game and how confused Bob Griese was when that happened.
