Actually, this did happen in the 1954 Cotton Bowl between Alabama and Rice. A bama player (Tommy Lewis) tackled Rice's Dickie Maegle. I believe Rice was awarded a TD, and Lewis ejected. That's the proper way to handle this on a breakaway run. If its not a breakaway, I'm still going to think long and hard about awarding a TD.

Ejection is a no-brainer. This is a flagrant act.
