Can't figure 3rd and 5 even as a decent wrong answer. 3rd and 10, maybe - from the offsetting fouls crowd (incorrect as well), but how's 3rd and 5 a possibility?

I think he means by walking 15 one way, then half the distance (or 10 yds) the other way, leaving the chains where they were, and then playing 3rd down. That'd be 3rd and 5 from the 10.
