Not sure about NCAA but in NFHS, a block in the back is enforced under the all but one principle. Fouls that fall under this principle are all enforced from the basic spot (for a running play this is the end of the run) except for fouls by the offense behind the basic spot (this is the "but one").

So for your play, if the run ended at the defense's 35 yard line, but the offense commited the foul at their 25, it would be enforced from their 25 since the spot of the foul is behind the end of the run (basic spot).

Does that make sense?
