<Li> All points scored in overtime count as if they were scored in regulation . (This is in contrast to the analogous penalty shootout used in other sports, where shootout points are counted separately and only one point is awarded to the winner .) </Li> <P> On two occasions, just two plays were required to determine an overtime winner in an NCAA football game: on 26 September 2002, when Louisville defeated Florida State 26--20 and on 27 September 2003, when Georgia Tech defeated Vanderbilt 24--17 . </P> <P> It is possible for a college game to end after a single play in overtime if the team on defense secures a turnover and returns it for a touchdown: on 9 September 2005, Ohio defeated Pittsburgh 16--10 on an 85 - yard interception return by Dion Byrum on the third play of overtime . It is also possible for the defense to get a safety on the first play of overtime (which would also end the game), but this would require the offense to lose 75 yards on the play, which is extremely unlikely (such a scenario is attested in regular play from scrimmage in college football but never in an overtime period). </P> <P> As of 2016, the Tennessee Volunteers have competed in the most overtime college football games, totalling 19 . </P>
