Didn’t there used to be a drop-kick rule where you could drop the ball and kick it as it hit the ground… and if it went through the goal posts you got some points????

Or was that the NFL? Wonder if it is still in the books, too?

..and if any of you care. 1 pt safety can happen in the NFL too.

I knew an opponent could run the blocked/int/fumble-runback PAT back for a 2 point conversion. Terrance Newman ran a USC blocked PAT back for 2 pts when USC played in Manhattan 10 years ago. I did not know about a 1 pt safety.

That was one of the stranger plays that I have seen in a while…why on earth did the player pitch the ball to a teammate in the end zone?

wow… new one to me… never heard of that rule before – learn something new every day!

I wonder how many other obscure rules are buried in the rulebook? hrm….
