Touchdown off blocked PAT
« on: September 13, 2010, 03:34:29 PM »
I thought I knew this one

If Team A's kick for a PAT is blocked and Team B picks it up and returns it for a TD

Does
1. Team B scores 1 point - they only get the score that team A was going for
or
2. Team B scores 2 points for a touchdown ?

For every coach that thinks we got it wrong there's another that thinks we got it right.

It's easy to get the players, getting 'em to play together, that's the hard part. - Casey Stengel
