If an opponent of the scoring team commits a foul (other than unsportsmanlike conduct on a nonplayer foul) during a down in which a touchdown is scored and there was not a change in possession during the down, A may accept the results of the play and choose enforcement of the penalty:

a. On the try, or
b. On the subsequent kickoff.
