I think the only thing I would modify in Suudy's response is to say that the period is extended by an untimed down if a penalty is accepted for a foul that occurs during the last timed down of a period except for unsportsmanlike fouls, non player fouls or fouls that specify a loss of down. In this case an untimed down was called for.
The crew in this play booted the pooch. They should have had an untimed down 10 yards back from the spot of the block in the back and like Suudy said at least East Haven could have hoped for a fumble and a runback.
