3rd and 2 on B's 42. Dead ball offsides defense (with contact). We blow the play dead, and come up to the line.
After a good 5 seconds the QB from A launches the ball 30-35 yards deep to no one. I flagged it for delay of game (it gives him time to talk to his team while we retrieve the ball - I'll leave aside that he started talking about a free play, since we had blown it dead and he really launched the ball!)
My question (NCAA):
Since we had not had a chance to signal the offside, do the dead ball penalties cancel, replay 3rd down, or do we have A's 1st and 10 on B's 42 (5 forward, reset, 5 back, reset)?
Thanks,

Really confused on what you are asking here. The DB offsides makes it 1st and 10 at the B37. It is 1-10, so the DB delay moves it back 5, making it 1-15 at the 42. At no level is this offsetting.
You said you had no chance to signal offsides. Your mistake there. You stop the game, give preliminary signal, talk to offending captain, clear yourself, give final signal to pressbox, wind or start clock on the ready (whichever is appropriate) and you are ready for the next down. It doesn't matter if they are in the hurry up, this does not change. NF, NCAA, or NFL would all be the same in this situation.
