I agree with Warren, DEAD BALL fouls are administered on their own merit. This is a first down. Double fouls are LIVE BALL fouls therefore not applicable in this situation. Dead ball fouls NEVER offset for yardage unless a fight is involved and it cannot be determined who started.

I too agree with Warren. But just to be complete, if the order of fouls is reversed... A80 commits the first USC; then B24 commits the second USC. We penalize A 15 yards first, then the 15 yards for B's USC; we end up at the same spot, but now with
the down being the same as when they occurred; in this case fouth and 10, because they were dead ball fouls.
