No blame there per se......
The responsibility is on the team, and the penalty should be on them but Fred should give up the 7 points gained by the pass, after all, that is one of the purposes of penalties....to put things back as though no transgression had occurred as like what should have happenned with Lewis when he passed the SC...otherwise he is a direct beneficary of clear cheating, at a minnimum.
