That's exactly what I have but some officials have contended that it should be first and goal from B's 5. The reason being that if A was able to have the full penalty yardage assessed they would have been beyond the line to gain. So if anyone out there believes that this would be the case then I would like to hear back from you. Please cite a rule reference because I can't find it anywhere.
