I believe that the LSU player (#1, I think) initiated contact with his helmet
and laid out the Miss St. defender. This brings up a couple of questions...

I have to disagree with you. The contact was with his shoulder. The blocker did not lead with this head at all and if there was contact with parts of the helmet it surely was not intentional at all. Most of the contact was with the shoulder. It is football, there is a reason they still wear a helmet.

The rules are the same at the NCAA level and NF level. It does not matter what level it is, this was not a foul at all in my opinion. If you have to look at slow motion replay to decide, it probably was not a foul.

No, because I personally think you are trying to split hairs.
