To make this situation even uglier assume that after K recovers the kick behind the line (that was muffed by R beyond the line) he then throws an illegal forward pass.

Good question. I am assuming that they cannot have a LOD, since they are awarded a new series at the end of the down, so it would be a 5 yard penalty from the spot of the IFP and 1-10 for team A.

Under 2005 NFHS Rules...(As per the last draft of Rule 3-3-4) If your illegal forward pass were to occur on the last play of the period, the period would be over!

Reference: NFHS website - 1/21/05 PRESS RELEASE
Rule 3-3-4 – A period shall not be extended when a foul occurs that specifies a loss of down. This will prevent a team from gaining an advantage by committing a “loss of down” foul.
