I’m not sure Costello gained 5 yards The field goal was snapped from the 34 yard line (it was a 51 yard field goal, and the field goal length is the line of scrimmage +17 yards), which means the 15 yard penalty was assessed from the 49 yard line. But looking at this replay, the previous play starts at the Stanford 48.

That means Costello gained 3 yards to get to the NW 49. Indeed on the replay it sure looks like he began his slide around the NW 48 or 49 yard line.

So the refs not only screwed us by not ejecting the NW player, but they also screwed us by making the field goal about 2 yards longer than it needed to be. That being said, Toner’s FG would have been good from 60 yards, so it didn’t wind up making a difference.
