Tried this on NCAA Football 2004 (the video game) -- took the snap on a try and ran 97 yards straight backwards out of A's end zone. B got one point. It was the last play of the game. Final score: Tennessee 55, Mississippi State 1.
Granted, I know video games are not going to have the rules completely right. But would a safety on a try by A give B a point under NCAA rules?

The video game is correct.
Under NCAA rules, A may score 2-points for a touchdown, 1-point for a safety by B, or 1-point for a field goal.
Additionally, B may score 2-points for a touchdown or 1-point for a saftey by A.
See NCAA FR 8-3-2
Since the result of you play (on your video game) was a safety by A, B was correctly awarded 1-point.
Now, if the same play were to happen
under NFHS rules, the result would be an
unsuccessful try by A.
See NFHS 8-3-3
(Exception: OREGON during 2004 and 2005 where an experimental rule would have resulted in the same ruling as NCAA.)
