If the illegal touching happened beyond the LOS we would have a Ineligible down field foul. So A would not gain any yardage after the penalty is enforced.
REPLY: True...but the illegal touching also includes loss of down, which the ineligible downfield does not. So Team A would gain the advantage of replaying the down. I contend that when this all washes out, the illegal touching downfield will probably result in a 5-yard penalty from the previous spot with LOD--similar, but not quite the same as illegal touching in NCAA. NCAA does not have LOD for this foul.
