I was not commenting on the quality of the actual hit, I just was trying to give an explanation to what was called. And they told NCAA officials to err on the side of safety when guys launch. The quality of the call is debatable, but that is what I suspected the officials thought they saw. I did not see the contact called, but can see why it was called.
