Rules Question on 2 Point Conversion Interception

[AZGrizFan]

Why doesn't that interception count as an INT for Van Ackern?

And why doesn't it count as an INT against the QB?

Does it count as a pass attempt in the official stats?

I was wondering the same thing

Another question: The play by play has the fly sweep to Roberts as a rushing play when it's not. It's a pass play, correct?

 

[Buttegrizzle]

Correct. Cause if he drops that micro pitch it will be an incomplete pass.

The answer...because the rules state that no yardage, tackles, interceptions, pass attempts, etc. etc etc that occur during a 2 point try count towards individual or team statistics...

Another question: The play by plan has the fly sweep to Roberts as a rushing play when it's not. It's a pass play, correct?

correct...play is designed as a forward pass...

I noticed the stats had it wrong too. This is at least the second time this year the play has been counted incorrectly as a run instead of a pass. Caleb Lyons had a 15 yard reception against UC Davis counted as a run.

At least the points count (whichever teams gets them ).

WHich is interesting, because had VA run that INT back for 2 points for Montana, it STILL wouldn't have counted in his personal stats? Or team stats? But we'd get points for it? That just doesn't make any sense...

I thought as soon as it's intercepted the play is dead?

Used to be that way I think but not anymore

Been a long time -- in college football -- that a defensive reversal on a two point conversion has been allowed. Blocked punt, interception or even a fumble returned by the D gives them two points. It's true, as I recall, that those turnovers kill the play in high school football ... but not college.

Trying to dig through the NCAA online rules is a PITA, so could not settle one possible exception. It may well be that an interception in the end zone is dead in the college game.
