The dumbest rule I have ever seen :nono5:
It has to do with the same idea that occured with Leon Lett a few years ago.
A&M touched the ball in the field of play NOT in the end zone then jumped on it in the end zone and were tackled thus a safety.
Remember Leon Lett touching that ball back on Thankgiving about 10 years ago and thus giving Miami possession when he fumbled it?
The A&M players should haver never touched the ball or at least not fumbled it into the end zone.

i missed part of it but if the rule is true, than it make sense. what they said was. tex tries extra point but it was blocked and defense attempted to run it back the other way( run it other way is 2 points) but got tackled in end zone, so it was 1 point safety. i never heard of it before, but was player trying to run it back the other way. i didnt see that
The rule was called correctly. What made it confusing was the idiot announcer who kept saying the ball is dead, it can't be a safety. Then he really made himself look silly when he said they were not going for 2, not realizing that Tex A&M had picked up the ball and indeed was trying run it back for a 2 pt conversion. It does not matter who the ball hit, Tex or Tex A&M. A&M picked the ball up and started to run attempting for the 2 points. When that happens the rule is the same as if it was a regular play with the safety being 1 pt instead of 2. A&M then fumbled the ball back into their endzone, when they fell on it, the result of the play was a safety(1 pt) being rewarded to Texas.
