Common sense says that the infraction happened when the player attempted a pass over the LOS, thus the LOS should be the determining factor. In the example, a first down would be awarded along with the 5 yd penalty.

Call me crazy, but some things don't make sense
It wasn't a foul for crossing the line of scrimmage. It was a foul for throwing the pass from beyond the line of scrimmage.

1/10 at A's 1. A1 runs 98 yards to B's 1 and then throws and illegal forward pass to A2 that falls incomplete. Is it fair to take the 98 yards he gained away from him?
