Nevada gives UND a safety in a horrible kickoff receiving blunder. The return man stepped out of the end zone with the ball, then stepped back in and took a knee.

In 1979, Stanford lost a game to the woeful Oregon State Beavers when Rick Gervais did the same thing in the 4th quarter.  The safety represented the margin of defeat, 33-31.  It was OSU's only win that season.

Actually, Gervais caught the ball just over the goal line and the catch carried him into the end zone, where he then he took a knee. Because of this play, the NCAA made a rule change the following year that makes these occurrences a touch back. When this happened again to Stanford at WSU in 95, this is how it was ruled. I was there.
