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.
