I understand that this is correct...what is the exact rule that handles this situation? Is it 5-1-2? I checked over the rule book to get the exact wording on this but am having a hard time understanding how 5-1-2 would apply in this situation (if it does).


ART. 2 . . . A new series of downs is awarded:
a. After a first, second or third down, a new series of downs shall be awarded
only after considering the effect of any act during the down other than nonplayer or unsportsmanlike conduct fouls by A, and any dead-ball foul by B.

That would be right. A player foul, holding by A for example, would have to be considered before awarding a new series, so if it takes them from beyond the LTG to behind the LTG you can't award a new series, but an USC or Nonplayer foul don't have to be considered, they are enforced from the succeeding spot, where the ball would be next snapped. So they get credit then for making the LTG, then are dinged.

So if A reaches the line to gain on 3rd down and then has a dead ball personal foul. It would be first and 10, 15-yds back from the succeeding spot?
