It should have been a penalty, but suspension without a warning is silly unless he had a history of doing it.

Sure
1. No player shall initiate contact and target an opponent with the crown (top) of his helmet. When in question, it is a foul.
2. No player shall initiate contact and target a defenseless opponent above the shoulders. When in question, it is a foul. LINK

Why should it have been a penalty? It's a perfectly legal hit.

Looks like he is hitting him in the chest to me.

So you are just supposed to let him catch it? Bull shite.

But he didn't spear him with his helmet. The main contact was the shoulder.

I didn't think ole miss's pass defense could get any worse. And then this happened.

I don't understand suspending a guy for this hit. Any chance Freeze/Ole Miss can appeal the suspension?

I guess my biggest problem with the rule is the fact that while this man be true, in real time as fast as it happened do you really think the DB intentionally did this? Maybe throw a flag, but to suspend a guy for a hit that happened this fast and was all reaction seems silly.
