Scoring 1 Point in a football game
In college football, it is possible to score a single point. A score such as 6-1 can occur.
When the point-after-touchdown is attempted, the offense may score 1 point (kick) or 2 points (run or pass across end zone line). In the college game, the defense can also score 2 points by getting the football and running the entire length of the field; this scores 2 points for the defense.
It is also possible for 2 different types of safeties to occur on the PAT. A safety on a PAT scores only 1 point. One version of a safety is for the defense to acquire possession of the ball (fumble or interception) within the play field, voluntarily run into their own end zone (probably trying to evade a tackle), and then get tackled within their own end zone. This scores 1 point for the offense, giving them a total of 7 for the touchdown / PAT combination. This has occurred several times in college football history.
The other possibility is so unlikely that it has never actually occurred. But it could. In this scenario, the offense loses possession of the ball, the defense recovers and runs -almost- all the way down the field, the defense loses possession of the ball, the offense regains possession within the play field and then voluntarily runs back into their own end zone, and then gets tackled within their own end zone. This is a safety that counts for the defense. Since it occurred on a PAT, they get 1 point. If they previously had no score, they now have a total of 1 point.
Since it takes a touchdown by the other team to set all this up, certain score combinations remain impossible.
Possible:
1-0 (score for a default when 1 team does not show up to play)
6-1 (see above)
8-1, 9-1, 10-1, … (see above; team that scored the touchdown had previously scored 1 or more times)
Any score with 2 or more points by either team
Any score with 0 by the losing team (all games obviously start at 0-0; if no overtime, a final score of 0-0 is possible; also if both teams don’t show up)
Impossible:
2-1
3-1
4-1
5-1
7-1
(The first 4 are impossible because it takes a touchdown to setup the losing team having only 1 point. 7-1 is impossible because, once it gets to 6-1, the only way the leading team can get only 1 more point is the situation above occurring again, with the teams reversed, but that would require the losing team to score a touchdown, which gives them more than 1 point.)
In the NFL and most high schools, as soon as the defensive team touches the ball on a PAT, the play is over, and the defense cannot score any points this way. Therefore it is not possible for a score of only 1 point to occur.
In the CFL, there is a play (the “single”) that gives a team only 1 point. It occurs fairly commonly. Any score combination is possible in that league.
Footnote to why safeties on PATs only count 1 point instead of 2: All points scored on PATs are actually variations of the scoring plays that occur during regular play, but they always count for fewer points than they would during regular play. The kick after a touchdown is actually a field goal, but scoring only 1 point instead of 3. Running or passing plays after a touchdown are essentially a “second touchdown”, scoring 2 points instead of 6. Therefore, safeties are possible as well (in college rules, anyway), and, once again, they count less than in regular play - 1 point instead of 2.
