REPLY: NF 8-3-3 outlines very clearly what scores can take place during a try: "During a try, Team A may score 2 points from what would be a touchdown or 1 point for a field goal or safety by B under rules governing play at other times during the game." Says nothing about Team B's ability to score.

Though the NCAA rules re: the try are structured differently, their analagous rule is also very clear: "A try is an opportunity for either team to score one or two points while the game clock is stopped and is a special interval in a game which, for purposes of penalty enforcement only, includes both a down and the "ready" period that precedes it."
