:15 seconds remaining in the third quarter. A is going into a very strong headwind
4th and 16 on B's 26 yard line.
A goes for it and attempts a pass. A completes the pass for 6 yard gain. On the play B is called for defensive holding. There is :02 seconds left on the clock.
A accepts the penalty for the defensive holding. 4th and 6 now on B's 16 yard line.
Clock starts on the ready for play. Clock goes to :00.
A now has to run an untimed down??
-
Yes. An accepted penalty for a foul that occurs during the last timed dwon of the period requires an untimed down, with a few exceptions. No exception here.
-
Unlike NCAA it does not matter if the clock runs out correct??
We had this discussion last week during our game.
I knew i was correct but coming here gives me confirmation
AS ALWAYS :bOW

In NCAA, time must expire during the down for an untimed down.
In NFHS, the rule reads "A period must be extended by an untimed down if during the last timed down of the period,... (3-3-3)

Utimed down. We had an accepted peanlty during the last timed down.
