Spot foul penalties

[Official]

Just wanting to know a list of the spot foul penalties. When officials throw their flags are they always throwing them at the spot where the foul occoured?

One more thing. Regarding clock stoppage near the sidelines. Obviously the clock stops if a players goes out on his own. What if he's forced out by a defender?

Holding and illegal use of hands, illegal blocks, just about any illegal act committed against and opponent; illegal passes, illegal handing, facemask fouls, horse collar, probably others.

The clock will continue to run if the contact with the defender halts the runner's forward progress in bounds before forcing him back and out of bounds.

The clock will stop if the runner continues his forward progress after contacting the defender.

so if the offense is at their own 35. a hold occurs at midfield the penalty for a hold is 10 yards and the offense moves up to their own 40?

Who's holding? What is the status of the ball during the foul? Where did the play end?

Let me put this all together so we agree.

A's ball on A's 35. A runs the ball to B's 47. A53 is flagged for holding at midfield.

The basic spot is the end of the run, B's 47. The foul occurred at midfield, behind the basic spot. This is the spot of enforcement.

The 10-yard penalty from midfield put the ball at A's 40. Replay the down if the line to gain has not been achieved after enforcement of the penalty, or 1st down if is has.
