If B declines all fouls, the ball is dead behind the goal line.
I believe 10-5-4 is the over-riding ruling here. It goes aganst the Fed way of thinking to have their own foul help them.
I'm still not convinced that you can have illegal touching on an illegal pass. It says eligibility rules apply only on legal passes, and eligibility is tied directly to illegal touching. Then again, on any other pat of the field, if the QB threw to an ineligible while under pressure, we'd flag the IT only probably.
A connundrum.
