5 yards are added to the end of the run (if the foul was by the defense).
The down is not repeated... if the foul happens on 2nd down, it will be 3rd down after the pentaly is applied if the ball is still not past the line to gain.
There is never an automatic first down.

Sean, are you a Football Official ? And what do you mean "There is never an automatic first down" ?
How about roughing the passer, or snapper or holder, or kicker.

Mr Neil, he is not talking about roughing. His response was dealing with incidental face mask! I'm sure what he meant was there is never an automatic first down on an incidental face mask penalty. The enforced yardage could result in a first down but never an anutomatic first down.
