Case book 3.3.3 Situation C: Near the end of the third period, it is third and 4 for A from B's 48-yard line. A1 advances to B's 45 and during the run there is holding by B1. The penalty is accepted. At the end of the down, there are three seconds remaining in the period. Because the penalty was the only reason for the clock to be stopped, it is started with the ready-for-play signal and the period ends before A snaps the ball.
The difference here from my situation is live ball vs. dead ball foul. The encroachment is a dead ball foul.

I remembered this case book play and immediately thought untimed down, but after thinking it over I'm not so sure.
