It's amazing how many LSU fans don't know the definition of spearing.

Spearing means leaping off the ground (ie, using your body as a spear) and jarring the opponent with your helmet.

Lowering your helmet to tackle is not a spear. It is just poor technique. That is why Danielson says "they're trying to get defenses not to do this." It can cause major neck injuries. Are there no decent high school football coaches in Louisiana?


You iz dumb

You are talking about "launching" which is leaving your feet

Spearing is just hitting with the crown of your helmet

LOL your own link

“No player shall use his helmet (including the face mask) to butt or ram an opponent or attempt to punish him


says nothing about arms, just contact with crown of helment = spear

No, it's not. Consult the NCAA rule book, please.

The words "butt" or "ram" imply the use of arms. You understand there's a difference between a tackle, and a butt or ram, correct?
