I believe that the LSU player (#1, I think) initiated contact with his helmet

1) Did you think that the play was indeed a foul if it had happened in
a NFHS game??? To me it should have been called at the NFHS level.
2) At the rules meeting I attended, the clinician stated that the NCAA was
also emphasizing helmet initiated contact. So, should this have been
a foul in the NCAA game??

I saw that play. As soon as I saw it, I was looking for the flag.
CANADIAN RULING: Flagged for Unnecessary Roughness, 7-3-8a. 15 yards.
Helmet to helmet contact.
I don't know of any level of Canadian football where safety fouls are not flagged.
