The foul? NO...Fund III Dead Ball #2: no live ball foul causes the ball to become dead.

To award a new series. YES. Please note: whether or not a new series is actually awarded is not a factor in the decisionof when to start the clock on next play. In the Sit. the awarding of a new series was why the clock was actually stopped.

Sorry preacher but you're just as wrong as the rest of them are.

No, the foul does not cause the ball to become dead. NO ONE SAID THAT IT DID. But the clock is stopped because there's a foul and to determine who will next have possession.

But like CBRoacket, you keep harping on why the clock is stopped, which is wrong. We're focusing on why we are restarting the clock. Once it's recognized that R will accept the foul, we aren't awarding a new series to anyone. We're replaying 4th down!

The clock starts on the READY.
