Even though I'm a Fed official I'm interested in seeing NCAA rulings as well to the following:
A's ball 4th and 15 from A20 with :20 seconds remaining in the game and trailing by 6 points. A34 runs a sweep down the right sideline. During A34's run there is a block below the waist by an A player at B's 10 yardline. A) a member of team B grabs (does not twist or pull) A34's facemask in making the inbounds tackle at team B's 5 yardline. B) Same as A except there is no foul by a team B player. In both cases :02 remains on the game clock after the play. Clock? And, how would you explain the options to the captain who has the penalty option in each case?

In (A) I do not believe there is any option. The penalties offset and the down is replayed. I believe the period would be extended for an untimed down since there was an accepted penalty (offsetting) during the last timed down.
In (B) the penalty would be enforced under the all but one and, again, the period would be extended if time expires without running another play.

B) you had better measure, cuz if they are short of the LTG, B will decline the penalty, new series awarded to B and they will win the game with the next snap if no fouls. If they make the LTG, give B the option of declining the penalty (1-goal at 5 for A and if team A does not get a play off, game over) or accept the penalty and have 4th-20 at the 25 for team A. Very important to let both teams and coaches know the clock will start on the RFP. If A does not get a play off, and the penalty was accepted, we will have an untimed down.

I will agree that you have to make sure both coaches know when the clock will start because it will have a big impact on if B accepts or declines the penalty. I'm not sure but I believe the clock would start on the ready if B declines the penalty.

My starting on the snap was when I had the distances messed up. What I was getting at, was if team A did not reach the LTG, then B would have the ball, down it, and game over! If A retains the ball, the clock will start on the RFP.

NCAA: In (a) The penaties offset and the clock will start on the RFP. If time runs out before A snaps the ball then Team B wins the game.
(b) The block below the waist is legal in this play. Team A retains the ball 1st and goal at the B-5. The clock will start on the RFP. In both plays I think it's important that both teams coaches know that the clock will start on the RFP.

REPLY: ljudge...the key difference between NF and NCAA rulings here involves the potential extension of the 4th period. In NF, the foul with an excepted penalty must occur during the last timed down of the period. Whether or not there is time remaining on the clock when that play ends is of no consequence. As long as that was the last timed down, we extend. However, in NCAA rules, in order to extend the period, the time must actually expire during the down in which the foul occurs, i.e. the clock must be reading 0:00. Therefore, those 2 seconds remaining when the down ends are significant in NCAA rules, and we would not extend the period for the foul. Hence, Jason's ruling.

If the block below the waist is legal in play b, why is it illegal in play a? You are correct as far as the clock and communicating with the coaches.

Good dialogue here. I thought the NCAA would at least have an answer to the double foul anomaly that FED has. In situation A team B can gain an advantage by fouling which is bad. This would be a great rules change if anybody had a good answer to this.
In A the ball goes back to the previous spot and A loses all those yards whereas in situation B it's snapped after marking off A's foul and A doesn't lose anything but their own penalty yards.

NF
In play A the result is a double foul. Replay from the previous spot, clock starts on the ready. If time runs out prior to the snap the period is extended for a untimed down. In play B, Team B is assessed a half the distance penalty. As ball, first and goal at the 2 1/2 yardline. The clock starts on the ready. If time runs out prior to the snap the period is extended for a untimed down. NCAA Both A and B. The block below the waist is legal, no foul on team A. The facemask foul on B is enforced from the succeeding spot. As ball, first and goal at the 2 1/2 yardline. The clock starts on the ready. If time runs out prior to the snap, the period is not extended because time did not expire during the down. Dale Smith

NCAA- Okay, there is confusion on the block below the waist. It can be legal. For the sake of arguement, change it to a clip or hold on A, and now we're back to B benefiting by commiting a foul.

You are correct. How ever A should not have fouled. Now we have offsetting fouls. The ball is placed at the previous spot. The clock is started on the ready. If time runs out prior to the snap, the period is not extended because time did not expire during the down.
