Team B Substitution foul during last 2-minutes of 2nd/4th periods

[ElvisLives]

2/10, B-40, 1:20 (4), A=7, B=16.
The ball is snapped at 1:20 (4). Team B has 12 players on the field participating in the action during the down. A12 throws a legal forward pass to A88, who catches the ball at the B-20, and advances for a touchdown (1:10 on the game clock at the end of the down).

So, we know that Team A would have to decline the distance penalty to keep the touchdown. However, does Team A still have the ability to reset the game clock to the time at the previous snap (even though the next down is the untimed Try)?
The more I think about this, I don't see why not. No, the game clock does not run during the Try. But, to discourage Team B from attempting the illegal substitution tactic to burn time off the game clock, it would seem that Team A could have the game clock restored to the time at the last snap, even though the next 'timed' down would be the succeeding kickoff.

Anybody have any positive knowledge on this type of situation?

I think there was a quiz play or AR play where Team A declines the ILS foul but gets to reset the clock because they gained yardage.  I think that would apply here too.

Yes, there is that. But, in that play situation, Team A simply gained substantial yardage, and the next down would be a regular scrimmage down, and the game clock would run. In the scenario in question, Team A scores a touchdown, so the next down is a Try, and the game clock does not run. Does that make a difference? Or, does Team A get to reset the game clock to the last timed down for the succeeding kickoff?
Like I said, the more I think about it, why not? Just because Team A scored doesn’t take away the clock advantage team B gained, if Team A is still behind in score.
I’m just looking for authoritative support for setting the game clock to the last timed down, even when Team A scores.
I have posed the question to Shaw. If I get a response, I will advise.

Ask and ye shall receive!

Shaw responded to my query, and confirmed that, yes, the clock can be restored for the succeeding kickoff.
