Are there any circumstances in instant replay where a penalty can be issued as a result of the replay?

For instance: In the famous kicked-ball miracle NU victory over Missouri, could a penalty have been issued for an illegal kick?

Thanks!

I do know in an NFL game, Saints @ Giants. I'm not sure if the details are right but heres the situation.

Giants catch a ball thats ruled complete, after the play a deadball personal foul was called against a Giants player. Saints challenged the ruling on the field, the call was not reversed but a player on the Saints was charged with a personal foul also after the review so the penalties ended up offsetting.

Saw that game. Actually, what happened wasn't that the review showed another foul; it was that while the Referee was "under the hood" watching the film, one of the Saints players committed an unsportsmanlike act. Since both the Giants PF and the Saints USC occurred in the same dead ball period (although literally 2 minutes apart) they offset.
