Illegal Helmet Contact

[SWFLguy]

Years ago I was working "the sticks" on a college JV game
between Colgate and SUNY Cortland. I called a spearing
penalty on a "Gate player - it was pretty obvious to me.
After the game an Orthopedic MD came up to me and
thanked me for calling it ! I've never seen anything close
to that in any game I've worked since.
Face tackling is probably the "hardest" of those types
of penalties to call. I've never seen it called in all
of my 35 years in a striped shirt.
