Now, if the foul is a block in the back, clipping should never be called. If the block isn't severe (doesn't knock the player down), it could be ignored if away from the play. On the other hand, if it is rough, it could be called unneccessary roughness. And could be live or dead depending on the status of the ball.

Why are your shorts all tied in knots? The original poster used the terms "clip" and "block in the back" interchangeably. I assumed it was a block and the back. Okay, have it your way. Clipping, 15 yards from the spot of the foul. Replay the down.
"Ball carrier is on the 5 yd line when offense clips defender on the 35. Block in back / spot of foul - PF / suceeding spot OR USC / Suceeding spot."
Jeez oh Pete. Relax.
