Rule 4.1.3.Q. If the runner's helmet comes "completely off" it becomes dead in NCAA ball.
Good to know (on both counts) - I'm shocked they got it right.

As a follow-up, the announcers said that there should be another penalty on the D for tackling the QB after the ball was dead. However, I didn't hear a whistle blown. Would you flag this as a DB PF if the whistle wasn't blown?
