REPLY: Mike, now I understand the question about fouls with multiple yardage penalties. I get it. One thing I was waiting for people to mention is free kick OOB. Even though the kickers can be forced to rekick with a 5-yard penalty, or the receivers can take the ball 25 yards in advance of K's free kick line, the latter is not technically an award of penalty yardage. It's simply a pre-determined succeeding spot. And remember...the half-the-distance rule doesn't apply to that option either.
Joe, what did you mean in your answer by "3) Safety?" I'm assuming you meant 'Free Kick following a Safety.' Right?? Which would be included in number 1).
