Week 5 Prediction Thread: Texas vs. Kansas...Undefeated Teams Face Off, Wait...What?

I'm taking the under. Sark coaches conservatively, and KU's better offense means we don't have the ball as much.

Hook'em 34
Rock chalk 23
 
Just got back from Wichita. Kansas fans are pumped about the potential last dance with the Horns. They want this. Sometimes Want beats Talent. However....

Horns - 35
Jays - 21
 
Defense is going to be the difference in this game. Not thrilled with the 2:30 kickoff, just because I thought we Rocked DKR against Wyoming. Going to be a hot 90° at kickoff..

TX Longhorns ~ 42
Kansas Jayhawks~ 24
 
Kansas ain't playing Missouri St, Illinois, Nevada, or BYU this week. They gave up 17+ to every one of those teams.

Texas 42
Dorothy 13
 
Was spot on last week...let's go with mucher precision...

TEXAS- more than enough but not enough to cover

Flyover U- nowhere near enough to win

If you return a block extra point, it’s now worth 1 point.

Nope, that's worth 2 points.

To get one point, you have to get a "defensive conversion safety", which would require the following to happen:
  • You block an extra point and run it almost all the way back
  • You fumble and the kicking team picks the ball up in the field of play
  • The kicking team then runs backwards into their own endzone and gets tackled for a safety
This has never happened in an NFL or NCAA game, but it is in the rule book for both.

BTW -- offensive conversion safeties have happened a handful of times in NCAA D-1, including by the Longhorns in the 2004 A&M game. But that can't result in a final score of 1 because the offensive team would have to have scored already to set the scenario up.

The video doesn't make it clear, but what happened was the following:
  • Texas's extra point attempt was blocked
  • An A&M player picked the ball up in the field of play and attempted to return it (which, if successful, would result in a 2-point safety)
  • The A&M player fumbled the ball back into the end zone, where another A&M player fell on it.
That's an offensive conversion safety, resulting in an extra 1 point to Texas.
