That's what I'm asking. Somehow, Ed got mixed up and started talking about a safety.

No drinking here!
Remember Zeke said in the original question months ago B facemasked A who somehow still managed to score. (Got to recruit that guy)
Now A has a few problems with extra points and they seem to kick it to the kid that runs through them like a hot knife thru butter.
And what Zeke wanted to know how you could enforce a penalty on B.
Remember, until this year A would have had to take the touchdown and kick it to B.
A now has a choice of accepting the penalty. But the enforcement spot is in the endzone -- a foul by B is enforced at the end of the run.
Apply Fund 47, after all the spot is in B's endzone. You cannot walk off yardage. But remember a foul by a team in it's endzone is always a safety.
It seems strange to me a team would give up 6 points to keep possession of the ball. But I have seen such in my years.
So, if this happens to you, a foul against B where the enforcement spot is in the endzone. Award a safety.
Also, take a look at NFHS Part 2 question 56.
If only the football was not elongated.

Okay Ed, you're not drunk but you're defnitely confused. There's no way on earth this play is a safety. It's a touchdown. B doesn't have possession of the ball nor did they force a ball from the field of play through their EZ. A has the ball. For that reason alone, you can't have a safety.
