I will concede 2 things: first, the roughing foul is a bit more problematic because if the FG or try is no good, or there is a foul by Team A, it isn't enforced as a dead ball. I think you are also correct about the PF during the play.
I don't know if the NCAA rule is the same as the NFHS rule but diving into the end zone is unsportsmanlike conduct. USC is a live ball foul that's penalized as a dead ball foul.

Based on your interpretation, ALL live ball fouls are penalized as dead ball fouls and we know that simply isn't true. The other guys are correct. You're misinterpreting the rule.
