Per a 2016 ESPN article:

"It seems that some officials have been interpreting the crown of the helmet to mean the tip-top portion of the helmet only," NCAA Football Secretary-Rules Editor Rogers Redding said in a release. "We want everyone to understand that the crown of the helmet starts from the area above the facemask to the dome of the helmet."

Which picture? His head is up and he didn’t launch himself into the other player. Watch it in real time - their helmets just happened to hit. Terrible call.

When watching replay it it looked to be more cause by them both contacting the ground.

Beyond that, the player started with his face forward. Upon seeing he was headed toward the qb, he lowered his head. It's not rocket science.

Rogers Redding needs to write that into the rule if he wants it to be interpreted that way
