I saw it as well. It seems to me that the correct technique is to first make sure of the tackle. If a second defender can get there before the ball carrier goes down, and the first guy has a good hold of the ball carrier, it is acceptable to try and strip the ball. But first things first.
Plus, with Drake's fumble, I think the scouting leads defenders to try especially hard to strip the ball. Fumblitis is unfortunately his perceived weakness, so it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I wish for his sake that he would learn, once he feels himself in traffic, to run like Larry Csonka, with both hands on the ball. We didn't need the extra yard he might have gained by continuing to struggle, but Florida desperately needed him to fumble.
