Another example of a safety would be if you penalized A 95 yards or so with 8 or 9 USC penalties so that the try would take place from their own three. If B can get a safety, it's one point.

It's kind of like OT. Here in Georgia we just started the new overtime procedure (somewhat like NFHS procedure) for OT last year. Of course, if B scores they win, but it'd be pretty hard to do when they can't gain possession. If somehow A gets pushed back to their own end of the field and gets a safety for some reason, B wins. But I'd love to see how they got back there in the first place.
Todd,
If we have enough consecutive USC fouls to cause that to even be remotely possible I am going to envoke the travesty rule and stop the game. Also, I believe the intent of the rule is that only A can score on a try. If that is the case then only A could score a safety on a try.

B cannot score any points on a try EVER by current NF rules. Only A can score.
