While the signal may be the same, I can't find anything in 7-5 to indicate that this is treated as a USC penalty. I realize that, under normal circumstances, you can only enforce one live-ball penalty by a team, but I would read the intentional PI rule as an exception, not as requiring the second 15 yards to be charged as a USC.

Mark,
If that was true wouldn't there be a listing in rule 10 for special enforcement? Just a thought...?

Point well taken.
I think it's just not clear either way. If it is intended to count as a USC foul, one sentence could be added to the rulebook. The same could be done if the USC signal is just a convenient signal.
While it certainly seems reasonable that this counts as a USC, I will not eject a kid based on just a signal without some guidance from the NF or my assignor (meaning I may ask about this during meetings this fall).
