A has the ball, 2nd and 10 from their own 40. There are 3 seconds left in the game. A7 takes the snap and rolls out to pass. Defender, B22, is flagged for holding A88. A7 cannot find a receiver and tucks the ball and heads downfield. He gets all the way to the 15 of B when he stops and tosses a forward pass into the endzone, which is caught by A80. Time has of course expired.

Now, this isn't too crazy. This could actually happen. If we rule double foul and extend the period with an untimed down, does the loss of down foul matter? In the rulebook under 3-3-3A it mentions that the penalty has to be accepted. Does the penalty being combined with another penalty to make a double foul constitute acceptance? If so, I would say the game is over.

Anywho....tell me what ya think.
