To me the rule should change to have allowed for that untimed down. If a team is leading and commits a turnover and a penalty against the offense occurs there should be an untimed down. As for the question the answer is no.
That's my opinion too. You should NEVER be officially rewarded for breaking the rules.
It seems to me the rule about no untimed play makes sense only if it is not 4th down. When there's no change of possession, you would be rewarded by getting an extra play, and the current rule prevents that, but in the very specific situation we saw, where there is a change in possession, calling the rule as written rewards you for 'cheating'.
What the rules committee ought to do is publish a clarification that makes what the refs did the correct call from now on.
Does the NCAA have a catch-all rule about 'the refs can do whatever, to keep the game fair'?

Absolutely not. You don't rectify a broken rule by breaking a different rule:
Also, Oklahoma St got some gift officiating in order to score their go-ahead touchdown, and the refs picked up a holding flag that never should be picked up. We don't rectify officiating errors after the game. Wrong calls stay wrong. We don't just correct one after the fact, ignoring the other wrong calls.

Winning Team and Final Score

When the referee declares that the game is ended, the score is final.

They at least have the leeway to award points at their discretion (I mean the refs during the game.)
