An illegal forward pass is treated as a run. Therefore the end of the run is in A'a own endzone. Therefore it's a safety either way. Either the penalty is enforced from the end of the run, which is in the EZ or if declined the end of the run is still in the EZ, safety.
So, in situation (a) it's a safety whether the penalty is accepted or declined. In (b) it's a safety if the penalty is accepted and A's ball 1/10 at A's 27 if declined. Is this correct?
