Yes, it was the right call. If the West Virginia player had disengaged shortly after going out of bounds it would not have been called, but it was the blocking past the bench that drew the penalty. It was a shame because it was a great block and a great run until the block got out of control and the West Virginia player tried to do his best imitation of "the block" from the movie, "The Blindside" where Michael Orh pushes the player down the field, out of the endzone and over the fence because the defensive player "needed to go home."
The OU v WV game was an offensive slug fest. According to ESPN:
"The latest Big 12 high-scoring affair set multiple FBS season highs. The two teams combined for 1,349 yards, the most in an FBS game this season. The 115 combined points were the most between two Power 5 teams this year, as well.

Kyler Murray added to his late push for the Heisman Trophy, throwing for 364 yards, rushing for 114 and totaling four touchdowns. Grier, meanwhile, became just the third Power 5 quarterback in the last 15 seasons to lose a game with at least 500 passing yards, four passing touchdowns and no interceptions, according to ESPN Stats & Info."
