What's smart ass about pointing out the obvious? NFL has a particular meaning for "foul between downs", but Fed & NCAA have fouls between downs too (by the ordinary meaning of "between" and the technical meaning of "down"), and the occurrence described is a foul between downs in those codes, so saying it's a "foul between downs" doesn't tell you anything per se. You'd have to know that the NFL deems the new series to be awarded before the penalty is presented.
