I have an "Ask the Ref" question about college football.

*Team A lines up to kick a PAT.
*Team B blocks the PAT.
*A big fat lineman for Team B catches the blocked kick in the air and begins chugging downfield with it toward the end zone.
*As he nears his end zone, a speedy player from Team A catches him from behind and strips the ball before he crosses the goal line.
*The speedy player from Team A catches the stripped ball in the air and turns around and heads back toward the original goal line.
*Speedy player from Team A miraculously weaves through everyone and crosses the goal line with the ball in his hands.

Do the refs award one point, two points, or six points?

P.S - I saw this almost happen in a game between Auburn and LSU about 7-8 years ago. The Speedy Team A player didn't make it across the goal line, but none of us could figure out what would have happened if he had.

You can always count on something mega-goofy happening during an Auburn-LSU football game. There's either going to be an earthquake, a building on fire, an illegal whistle, a fistfight between the band and the kicker, four 4th quarter INTs for TDs by the same team, or this play.
