Watching Mizzou/Nwestern overtime...

If a team is down 7 points in overtime and the ball is fumbled/intercepted and returned to the opposite end zone does the touchdown count? If so, do they kick the extra point?

6 points good......extra point not kicked.

Max any team can win by in overtime is 14 points.....can be up by 8.....return fumble or intercept for another 6 points.

that is correct - td counts no xp


this rule was actually changed after a asu game a few years back when jake plummer was qb - asu was perfect ats late in the season if i remember correctly - went to ot in a game where they were laying 13.5 points - scored, def td, xp, cover

Thanks, guys. Must be the worst way to lose, if that Nwes fumble had ended up in the end zone.
