Fumbling the ball out of the end zone giving the ball to the other team.
Stupid rule.
Any other fumble out of bounds the offense retains possession.
In case of the end zone, the defense has done nothing to deserve to earn a turnover.

The reason for that is you have to have a limit to how many yards you can lose and a penalty for for the loss of yardage. . .

EDIT: I misunderstood. What's the fix?

I will start it off - change targeting so that disqualification only occurs on second call in same game against a player. Since targeting does not have to be intentional, disqualification is too stiff a penalty on first call
Cosign completely. No one-time, unintentional action should ever cause ejection and suspension.

My change:
If an injury stops play the injured player can not re-enter the game until the ball changes possession.

So what happens when on 3rd and goal from the 8 the running back gets stuffed and “fumbles” the ball through the back of the end zone?

Maybe the offense shouldn’t fumble the ball? Where do you spot it in that case? In this case, where would Saban want the bowl spotted:

The team that fumbled damn sure doesn't deserve to keep it, so what's the solution?

It isn't targeting when an offensive player ducks his head at the last second.

Ineligible man downfield should be 1 yard instead of 3.

Add an additional layer of pass interference where it is only automatic first down if the defensive player grabs/trips an offensive player who is running by him for a touchdown.
