To be fair, more often than not, it does result in a first downs...plus people more aptly know NFL/NCAA rules. Another one of the reasons why I'm glad Texas plays under NCAA rules. Welpe will back me up on this.  I'm actually surprised that, with NFHS being the most safety conscious of all the rule sets, doesn't make all defensive PF's auto first downs as PF's tend to be safety related.
