This is probably a better view than anyone on the field had. If the player didn't make primary contact using his headgear, it wasn't for lack of trying! Even if a view that nobody had could've revealed some other type of contact, I think you should flag it just for simulating it so well from the pretty good view you do have. What good reason could he have had for dropping his head like that?

Actually as I look at it one more time I see there is no other part of the body he could possibly have made initial contact by. It had to be a helmet/mask hit. At first I thought he might've gotten his left arm in there, but no, it's dangling wide. An outright spear in the old sense, although not "spearing" by NCAA's definition -- rather, "butt blocking".
