There is no basis for an untimed down for A in Situation 2. The ball was not live when the false start occurred thus it was not a live-ball foul. We can only extend for accepted live-ball penalties. Even more it is allowable for us to start this clock without allowing A the chance to snap the ball if it is determined that the foul happened only so that the clock could be stopped. If we are clear that the ball would not have been snapped legally prior to the clock running out then we can not allow A another snap after giving up 5 yards.
