Not doubting you (I'm a novice with NFHS rules) but I can't seem to find that in the book.....

8-3-3 defines how Team A can score on a try. It does not say Team B can score during a try.

Further, case play 8.3.3 states specifically "B cannot score during a try down."

I do think often on these forums we worry about the strange or unusual situation that never happens but cannot get the routine or common thing right. Just listen to a certain coach on the NF forum and he will claim that happens every game. And how many times have we discussed this issue? I bet I have read more things on these forums about 1 point safeties than I read about many other rules. I guess some people need to discuss these things over and over a learn a rather simple rule.
