Your U was right. Read 3-3-3
ART. 3 . . . A period must be extended by an untimed down if during the last down of the period, one of the following occurs:
a. There was a foul, other than unsportsmanlike or non-player, by either team and the penalty is accepted.
b. There was a double foul.
c. There was an inadvertent whistle.
d. If a touchdown was scored, the try is attempted unless the touchdown is scored during the last down of the fourth period and the point(s) would not affect the outcome of the game or playoff qualifying.
Periods, not just a half, are extend for live-ball fouls and not dead-ball fouls. And remember that it is not just during the last play when the time ran out during that play but for the last play run during the period. Say with 45 seconds left in the game A ran a play and was called for holding. Then before the next snap B encroached. Then the clock ran out before the next snap. You must run another play because during the last timed down there was an accepted penalty, the holding penalty.
