REPLY: Dad...the best way to think about this is to initially take the late hit out of the equation since it happened after the play. Since the offense was unable to make the line to gain in their four downs, the ball goes over to the defense. So now it's B's ball, 1-10. Now put the late hit back into the equation. Penalize Team B fifteen yards for the late hit. Then reset the chains so it will be 1-10 for team B.
