Not in NFHS, at least not for b.

Its a 1 point safety for A. A would get a total of 7 points (6 for the touchdown and one for getting a safety on B).

This is not B getting a safety against A (ie., running it back 97 yards)

Hmmm....the ball becomes dead as soon as B possess the ball. And the ball becomes dead in B's EZ, in B's possession, and the momentum exception is not in effect. I guess I see it that. But since B never gets the chance to do anything with the ball (as you mentioned earlier), seems that A gets the points without any effort of its own. Strange, that's why I thought no safety--ball is just dead.

Casebook 8-3-3. It's a safety, one point for A.
