[edit] Not a safety
I deleted the parenthetical that claims a defensive conversion is classified as a safety. This is not true. I also added that in cases of defensive conversions, the ball is kicked off as normal.49giantsharks 18:32, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
What is a one point safety? I have never heard of this. I don't believe it to be true. Wideeyedraven 22:33, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
A one-point safety is awarded when the team defending a conversion attempt gives up a safety on that play. It happened in a Texas-Texas A&M game a few years ago. A&M blocked the extra point, and recovered the ball. Then, they fumbled the ball into their own end zone, recovered it there, and were tackled for the safety.
The page claims that teams can drop-kick for a two point conversion; that's not correct, is it? A drop-kick is just an extra point. When Flutie did it a while ago it only scored one, as I recall. Borschevsky 14:46, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
