Encroachment would be half the distance and repeat the down. A
personal foul or pass interference penalty against the defense
would result in a new set of downs.
I've made my fair share of mistakes, and if I can help you avoid a few, I'd sure like to try.

Q: On a 4th and goal with less than 5 yds to go if the defensive receives an encroachment or offsides would it be half the distance to the goal and a 1st down or half the distance and repeat the down?
