Kirby got it. It was the awarding of the new series that was confusing me. For some reason, I wanted to enforce both DB fouls before determining whether or not it results in a first down.
But, 5-1-2a says, "After a first, second, or third down, a new series of downs shall be awarded only after considering the effect of any act during the down other than non-player or unsportsmanlike conduct fouls by A, and any dead-ball foul by B.
It does not mention anything about DB fouls by A or DB fouls by both teams. I can't find any case book situation on it either, so I agree...
1st and 10 for A from A40.
Thanks.
