How about a "poor metric" to the static route on the backup router B:

 ip route 192.168.68.1 255.255.255.0 172.16.87.XXX 250

With the "poor metric", the route should get overridden by the one
redistributed from A via OSPF.  When the route announced via OSPF
goes away, the static will be the only one left, and will be used.
