Is the (2nd or 4th) period extended for a foul by the offense? I thought it was only for a foul by the defense? (I am not a FB official)

Found the rule:
Extension of Periods
ARTICLE 3 a A period shall be extended for an untimed down if one or more
of the following occurs during a down in which time expires in the 2nd or 4th
quarter (AR 3-2-3-I-VIII):
1 A penalty is accepted for a live-ball foul(s) (Exception: Rule 10-2-5-
a) At the option of the offended team, the period is not extended if
the foul is by the team in possession and the statement of the penalty
includes loss of down (AR 3-2-3-VIII)
2 There are offsetting fouls
3 An official sounds their whistle inadvertently or otherwise incorrectly
signals the ball dead
b Additional untimed downs will be played until a down is free of the
circumstances in statements 1, 2 and 3 of Rule 3-2-3-a (above)
c If a touchdown is scored during a down in which time in a period expires,
the period is extended for the try (Exception: Rule 8-3-2-a)

You've been listening to too many announcers!

Incidentally, NCAA changed the rule this year and only the 2nd and 4th periods extend the periods for untimed downs. Prior to this year, ALL periods extended for untimed downs if there was an accepted penalty. I've found myself twice saying, over the mic, the (x) quarter is over, as we enforced the penalty on the first play of the next quarter. Never said that before.

I understand the change but I liked the previous rule. It was cleaner. I'm sure I'll get used to it.

It will be rare that the 2nd or 4th period would wind up extended for a foul solely by the offense. The result of the play would've had to be a score by the offense for the defense not to decline the penalty, unless they're perverse or need to get certain players a down on the field.
