in the nfl inside of 2 minutes the ball would be dead wherever the fumble started and the clock would keep running, must be different in college

No,but I can tell you why it's the rule; one of John Madden's Raider teams won a game this way in the '70s. Ken Stabler shoveled the ball forward as he was being tackled, and some Raiders kicked it into the end zone, where Dave Casper fell on it to win the game. Insta-rule change.
