Penalty following change of possession

[KWH]

So in your situation, the only way you would have 1st and goal would be if the coach requested his timeout after the RFP was blown...

Actually PiggSkin you are incorrect again.
If the coach takes his timeout after the RFP then such RFP is cancelled and the time out takes precidence. (Ie, the 25 second clock is reset!)
After the timeout is over a new RFP will (of course) be blown and only during that 25 second count will any UC penalty result in a 1st and 25 situation.

Perhaps an easier way to remember is this way,
The only way in which a new series can start with a 1st and 25 situation is if a UC penalty occurs while the 25 second clock is running.

I hope this makes sense and helps!
