Not to go all dictionary.com or anything, but wouldn't "rare" imply that it's happened at least once?
nope.  |

Seriously, there's a rule written to address a situation that's not occurred in close to 100 years - the entirety of the game's history?  |

I'd say the rarest play is the QB giving the center a little tickle raising the upright.

answer from : http://en.wikipedia.org/w...fety_%28football_score%29 Although exceedingly unlikely, college football's rules also allow the defensive team to score a one-point conversion safety on a PAT or conversion try. One possible scenario: Team B blocks Team A's extra-point attempt, and a player on Team B picks up the loose ball and runs towards the opposite end zone. Before reaching the goal line, he fumbles the ball and it is recovered by a player from Team A, who then voluntarily runs into his own end zone and is tackled. Team B would score one point for the conversion safety and the score would then be 6-1. No team has ever scored a defensive conversion safety in a college football game. However, the rule is notable as being the only way a team may finish a game with a score of exactly one point in American football. Cool info. |

He doesn't need to do that. He can just play offense and run the ball backward into his own endzone on a conversion try. |

If his kicker isn't fast enough, he may have to just incur 11 false start penalties. |
