AR 8-3-4 II has a similar play except the foul is a clip in the end zone. The AR states the penalty is declined by rule. As we know NCAA rules have exceptions. The only exception for penalties that are not declined by rule after a change of possession on Trys are Flagrant PF's, UC, Dead Ball PF's, and Live Balls fouls treated as Dead Ball fouls. All other fouls are declined by rule and any scores are cancelled. An illegal forward pass does not fall under any of those exceptions.
So, with this AR it certainly appears to be consistent with Reddings interpretation because even a clipping foul has a "distance penalty"
