More completely put, on a double foul with no COP, with a simple 5 yard penalty (no auto first/loss of down/10 second run off) and the other penalty being a major penalty (15 yards), the 5 yard penalty is disregarded and the 15 yard penalty is enforced from the previous spot. If this occurs on a scoring play, the score is canceled and the penalty is enforced from the previous spot. The combination can be dead/dead, live/live or live/dead.
