Multiple fouls on same play

[Redseal]

Team a is on their own 25. It is 4th and 5. Team b roughes the punter. Team b fields the punt and during the return, team A commits a personal foul face mask foul. How should the penalties have been enforced? Who's ball is it, where is the LOS, and what down is it?

Thanks in advance..

Since B's foul happened behind the neutral zone, post-scrimmage kick enforcement doesn't apply -- it's a double foul.

Replay the down from the previous spot.

The penalties offset.
Actually these are "Double" fouls and not multiple fouls (multiple are two or more by same team)

Rule 10-2 art1b
"It is a double foul if both teams commit fouls (other than non-player unsportsmanlike), during the same live ball period in which...

There is a change of possession (in your play there is) and the team in possession at the end of the down (team b) fouls prior to the final change of possession (team B did so) unless all fouls committed by R (b) are Post scrimmage kick fouls (roughing is not a PSK foul)... the penalties cancel and the down is replayed"

Thank you for responding. After some discussion between the WH and the U, the roughing penalty was walked off, then the face mask was walked off, the ball was placed at the original LOS and............wait for it....... A was given a first down. The WH even used the word "offsetting" to our Head coach.

As an assistant coach, and former HS official, I have a great appreciation for the work officials do. Thanks
