Since A64 committed the false start before the down, acceptance of the penalty will not extend the period (3-3-3a).

However, if B committed encroachment and in the opinion of the referee the act was purposefully done in order to consume time 3-6-3 could be applied. The referee would order the clock to be stopped and started on the snap to allow team A to get the play off.

In a close game where the play could mean something, that would require one heck of a sales job!
