I believe I remember it being announced that the penalty was to place the ball at the spot of the foul and have a loss-of-down. I never heard them say that there was a 5-yard penalty.

The penalty is a LOD at the spot of the foul.

While IG is an illegal forward pass, it's penalized differently and because it does not include any yardage mark-off.

If the ball was grounded to save time, 5 yards from foul spot and loss of down. 7-3-2-d

True, but that specific foul is called an Illegal Forward pass (s35) not Intentional Grounding (s36).

Theisey: You are correct, Sir! As always. Keep up the good work. (That's why I'm not ready yet to be a white hat.)

It does make you wonder why they aren't all the same, after all they are lumped under the Illegal forward pass section.
