Untimed Down

This is going to show my football rules ignorance, but at the end of the 3Q last night, Ohio State was hit with an offensive holding penalty. Time had run out, but the officials extended the quarter for an untimed down.
I thought untimed downs were only for defensive penalties. Why didn't they just go to the 4Q and replay 3rd down that way?
