I know exactly what he is asking and I answered the question. No, it definitely should not be first and goal. The refs were right in this instance. It should have been 1st and 10 at the 16 yard line.
Giving the team the first and 10 negates the penalty of 15 yds you just gave them.
Essentially what happened is the team got a first down 9 yards closer than the previous play after getting a 15 yd penalty.
We did not stop the first down after that at any rate.

How the hell does it negate the penalty? It still pushed them back to the fricking 16 yard line instead of having the ball at the 1 yard line. If a RB busts a 40 yard run on 2nd a 3 that results in a first down and there is a holding 30 yards down the field, it is still going to be first and 10 on the next play. It will be 10 yards from the spot of the foul.
And if you think it negates the penalty yardage, then that's just your opinion and I can't help you there. Maybe take it up with the NCAA rules committee because the refs got the call right. It should have been 1st down and 10 yards to go from the 16 yard line.
