If you have a foul where enforcement is from the succeeding spot (i.e. unsportsmanlike) then it's a first down after penalty enforcement even if enforcement takes the ball back between or behind the chains. Example: 2nd/8 from the 40, A runs to the 49, USC occurs, then mark off 15 from 49 (back to the 34) which goes behind the original line to gain, set the chains and 1st/10 A's 34.
