query - were there two 2 point conversions in the Penn State game?

PSUgirl--

Yes there were. Penn State made a successful 2-pt. conversion. It would appear that Boise State accomplished it twice but actually it was a safety for them. The Broncos got 2 FGs, 2 TDs, 2 XPs, and a safety for 22 points.

I did defensive statistics last year but neglected them this year because they are perceived by many as the "lesser" statistics. Naturally, offense rules all to most people (excluding me). I believe I documented safeties in 2007 but there were none throughout the playoff. That came back to bite me already this year.
