Untimed Down

[Middleman]

On the last play of the 1st quarter, there is a penalty on the defense which is accepted and it is NOT a loss of down penalty. Does A get an untimed down, or, since they'll still have the ball in the same position at the opposite end of the field, do you just assess the penalty and then take your intermission and begin the 2nd quarter?

Think of it this way ... Replay the down, under the same conditions (i.e., wind direction, shadows, etc.) as the original down.

BTW, there are no loss of down penalties that can be attributed to the defense!
