Trivia: In the 1883 rules of American college football, what was worth 2 points?
Field Goal
Safety
Touchdown
Extra Point
The correct answer is Touchdown
So why is this answer correct? : The first official numerical scoring system for American football was introduced in 1883, and it was far different than the scorekeeping we have today. Touchdowns were worth 2 points, with the extra kicks after touchdowns being worth 4 points. Safeties were just 1 point, and field goals were worth a whopping 5 points. It seems kicking was a more valuable skill back in those early days of the sport.
