If you have an unsportmanlike foul (dead ball foul) after a sucessfull extra point attempt at the end of a game sending it into overtime and the penalty will be assessed to the offense during the first possession of overtime because the team who wins the toss is the offending team and they chose the ball, can they get a first down after moving the ball 10 yds after starting 1st and 10 from the 25 yd line? Or is their only line to gain for a first down the goal line? Federation rules. Has this been discussed in an earlier thread?
If you use the recommended procedure directly out of the book and interpret those procedures like Illinois (or live in Illinois), the line to gain is always the goal line.
