With third and 8 from A's 35, A1 takes the snap and drops back to pass to A25. A2 holds at A30 before the pass. The pass is incomplete. If B accepts the penalty where is the ball spotted and what is the down?

NFHS Ruling
This foul occured during a loose ball play and is therefore administered from the previous spot. (The A35)
The captain of B may either decline the penalty making it 4th and 8 from A's 35.
or
The captain of B may accept the penalty making it 3rd and 18 from the A25.
