Tackling

Some coaches teach to put the fasemask in the runner's chest. The NHFS has made the initiating contact with the face mask illegal; however, the College football rules does not explicitly have this rule. I do not teach players to initiate contact with their face mask, but I want to understand the rule. The helmet is used for protection.

What is the college football rule for ramming? Is this not using the helmet as a battering ram?
