Rookie here, but gonna give it a crack. I think the question becomes, is this a dead ball or live ball foul (the USC).

If it's a Live ball foul, A declines the penalty, it's a TD

If they accept the penalty, I'm gonna GUESS you call it a live ball foul at the spot where he began to celebrate. Let's say that's the 20. So ya push em back to the 35 (15 yd penalty, and B gets one untimed down.

GO easy on me. I don't have my books available to see if this can be enforced as a live ball foul or not.
Well at least you are trying to post as a rookie. That's more than can be said for most rookies. Most just read and don't try to publish their thoughts. It is a live-ball foul but this is one of the special ones. This foul did not affect the outcome of the play like holding does. So USC is marked off from the succeeding spot or the end of the play. This play ended in a touchdown so that stands. If no try is allowed then the game is over. If B is allowed to run the try then A can accept the penalty and B will run the try from the 18.

Unsportsmanlike conduct will either be a dead-ball foul between snaps or if it occurs during a play it will be marked off where the play ends.
