NFHS Period Extension

[Texas Aggie]

A 3rd and 10 at A28, 0:03 seconds in the 2nd quarter. A throws and interception which is returned to the A30. During the return, B blocks in the back. After the play, A late hits. Time expire during the play.

NCAA rule: I can see no rational reason for Team A to accept the penalty, so the half will end and the penalty for Team A's foul will be enforced on the second half kickoff. IF Team A insists on accepting the penalty, enforce both fouls and play an untimed down.

A rational reason would be to not start the 2nd half with a 15 yarder against them. Depends a lot on exactly where B's penalty was though... if deep in B's territory, perhaps there's very little risk of B scoring on the untimed down.
