Question about the double helmet to helmet play in the Florida State/OU game...

I think the rules need to be changed in regards to how OU was penalized.
I think that the penalty should have been enforced at the spot of the foul. The only reason it was enforced at the original line of scrimmage and not the spot of the foul was because the receiver fumbled the ball and OU recovered.
However, the personal foul CAUSED the fumble. It was an illegal play by OU, but they benefited from it (ie, ball placed on the 5 instead of the 1). With the ball at the one, perhaps FSU punches it in with a run. Instead, they attempted a pass and were intercepted. Huge momentum shift.
Perhaps this has been discussed, but what are your thoughts on this?

I wouldn't think this would change unless the PI penalty does as well.
I'm kinda on the fence about both of them.

Referees are able to take away points due to non contact personal fouls
While I think that's pretty stupid, it does set the precedent for allowing them to be able to award points on a controlled basis for plays like this.
It's obvious to everyone that he would have scored a touchdown if not for the PF. Therefore, award the touchdown.
Under the current rules though, two personal fouls should have been called, one 15 yards, and one half the distance.
