NCAA Play

[The Roamin' Umpire]

Huh. That's not a play I've ever thought about.

I'm going to shoot from the hip here; I'll have to check my books later.

My hunch is that Fed rules do not have the same definition of passer as NCAA rules, and that under the NF code, the QB is still a passer in this situation.

...

Nope, I'm not coming up with a good conclusion - I typed out three different things and deleted all of them. My conflict is that B meets the requirements of the "clean hands" rule, but the foul carries an automatic first down.

Best guess: you did the right thing, as team A is no longer the offense, so they don't get the roughing protection.
