Not 100% sure on NCAA but the only error correcting rule I recall is for timing. An incorrect down can be corrected any time in the series.
I'm not sure your game scenario was that big of an issue. With 1st & 10 for A at B 16 yl, the next play with the defensive holding enforced should be 1st & 2 from B8. On this play you state they gain 3-4 yards and now have 1st and goal.
What they had was more of a misstatement of facts than an error. The situation corrected itself actually.
I wish someone would tell that particular WH that he doesn't need to yelll into the mic.
