It is possible to score only one point in football.
Here, let me try to look up that info for you.
ETA:
It's called a conversion safety, and it occurs during an extra point or 2pt conversion try.
In the event of a safety, by either the offense or the defense, only one point is allocated.
It has happened twice for the offense in college football. 2004 Texas vs Texas A&M and the 2013 Fiesta Bowl with Oregon vs Kansas State.
In both games the PAT kick was blocked, recovered by the defense, and then fumbled or thrown back into the end zone.
For it to happen on defense, the kicking team would have to retreat all the way back to their own end zone and then fumble the ball out of it or be tackled in it. While such a conversion safety has never been scored by the defense, it is the only possible way in which a team could finish with a single point in an American football game.
