FOOTBALL: MSU's Jeremy Ware's Helmet to Helmet Hit on Iowa's Colin Sandeman

It was the right call by the officials, no matter how long it took for the flag to come in.
I don't know how any self respecting football fan can not see that this was a blantant H2H.

Here's the video.


Here's the screenshot.


It's pretty obvious, folks.

Ware should be given a 1 game suspension from the Big Ten, while the Big Ten Network should suspend Wayne Larrivee for his lack of knowledge and the way he approached the hit. If Coleman from Ohio State was given a suspension, so should Ware.

Check the rules
PROTECTION OF DEFENSELESS PLAYERS—In 2008, the committee
introduced a separate rule prohibiting initiating contact with and targeting a
defenseless opponent (Rule 9-1-3).
The following are situations in which defenseless players are susceptible to
serious injury:
• The quarterback moving down the line of scrimmage who has handed or
pitched the ball to a teammate, and then makes no attempt to participate
further in the play;
• The kicker who is in the act of kicking the ball, or who has not had a
reasonable length of time to regain his balance after the kick;
• The passer who is in the act of throwing the ball, or who has not had a
reasonable length of time to participate in the play again after releasing the
ball;
• The pass receiver whose concentration is on the ball;
• The pass receiver who has clearly relaxed when the pass is no longer
catchable;
• The kick receiver whose attention is on the downward flight of the ball;
• The kick receiver who has just touched the ball;
• The player who has relaxed once the ball has become dead; and
• The player who is obviously out of the play.
POINTS OF EMPHASIS FR-9
These players are protected by rules that have been in place for many years. It
is of the utmost importance that participants, coaches and game officials carefully
and diligently observe safety rules.
Intentional helmet-to-helmet contact is never legal, nor is any other blow directed toward an opponent’s head.
Flagrant offenders shall be disqualified.

  2. I agree. It was a great hit. But don't worry storminspank. It was a well played game between the two sides. Michigan State vs. officials. After all they did win that game for you. Congrats on being protected by the NCAA!!

  3. Of course the refs won the game for the Hawkeyes. They totally allowed McNutt get inside position on that slant to win the game. Thanks officials. What else you got Sparty fans? Seriously?

    If anyone looks at the video and the pic and can't see it's a H2H, you don't understand football and its rules.

  4. MSU fans are the scum of the BIg 10, booing our injured players off the field (regardless of the whether the call was right or not), and starting the wave when our player is laying motionless and being carted off the field.

    ReplyDelete
  5. As a nuetral party at the game last night. I have to say that the spartan fans lacked a lot of class. YOU DO NOT BOO AS A PLAYER IS GETTING UP. If you want to boo will he is laying there motionless that is your call. Howeve there is no excuse for booing when he stands up. If the spartans do not commit so many penalties they would not have to blame the refs. Blame your coach Iowa ran 3 slants on all 3 of the last plays. He couldnt see that coming?????

  6. I was at the game... the play happened right in front of me. When it happened, my first thought was, "I can't believe the refs didn't call a foul on that. It was clearly an illegal hit. I was disgusted with the MSU fans in response to the flag. In fact, after witnessing the response, and having been an MSU fan for 30 years, I no longer have any desire to be known as an MSU fan whatsoever. I'll join with some other team that has some class.

  8. why does your boys arm fly in the air when he gets hit if it was helmet to helmet? why does his head not go jerking back? i've been hit helmet to helmet before. that was clean. take pride hiding behind the refs. and MSU fan, former MSU fan, football does penalties not fouls, so I can tell you were a diehard fan of the game....yeah. Let's be real with ourselves for a minute. and other person up there. I was at the game as well, the wave wasn't started during the injury because Iowa fans were trying to get in too. dumb ass.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Looks like a clean hit to me. A hard hit but a clean one the main contact is the push with his arms. Any helmet contact was coincidental and not worthy of a penalty. It was a good hard fought battle and it is too bad the refs had to ruin that. We will never know who would have really one the battle. But that next 3rd and 8 play would have been hype!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Do MSU fans not see the picture? Does that not show up on your web browser? Can you not see the freeze frame of Ware's helmet HITTING THE HELMET OF SANDEMAN? My God.

    Like my grandpa always said, "You can't argue with stupid."

    I'm still amazed there are people debating this hit. You don't get knocked out by getting hit in the side or the shoulders. You get knocked out by a hit to the head... in this case, a helmet to helmet hit.

    MSU hit hard last night, they are a tough ballclub. Iowa came away wounded for sure. But this particu,ar hit was helmet to helmet, it's just the facts, folks.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Clean hit my fucking ass. The guy comes in leading with his helmet and intentionally helmets Sandeman. Sandeman stopped and Ware came in helmet first. If you saw the camera view from behind ware you actually see Ware's head rock back when he hits Sandeman.

    This idiot should have been suspended for a game. It was blatant, and about as unsportsmanlike as it gets. Yes this is football and people get hit but rules against helmet to helmet hits are there to protect the players from concussions and other types of serious injuries. If Ware had any one bit of intelligence he would have come in with his shoulder not his helmet.

    ReplyDelete
  12. just throwing it out there for ya storminspank you have as biased an opinion as us state fans. and by the way the head slamming the ground as he went down had nothing to do with it. it HAD to be the helmet to...uhh helmet i guess?

    ReplyDelete
  13. they guy who said clean hit my fucking ass. you are a stupid fuck and i hope you rot in hell.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I'd appreciate it if you guys would clean it up a little, I am likely going to have to go back and delete some of these posts - I don't like doing that, but personal attacks over the Internet is silly.

    To Anonymous (sorry, that's all I can address you as) - the ground definitely could have caused the KO, but the way Sandeman's head snapped back, he went pretty limp on the hit. It could have been caused be either one of them. If the hit didn't do it, I'd think Sandeman would have been able to put this hands/arms down to prevent his head from slamming into the ground. I realize I am biased, being a Hawkeye fan... but the picture above shows Ware's helmet hitting Sandeman's helmet. That, by textbook, is a helmet to helmet. I'm not sure how much more anyone else has to see.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Now you have my name and I know you're biased and all as am I. All I'm saying is having suffered four concussions during football games all of which I will admit were clean hits, it is not easy to use your arms as protection against this type of thing, especially when are first using it to brace for the impact. I've been hit like this before. the picture to me, looks like he got half of his shoulder, half helmet. The hit however looks clean to me and i do feel the flag was just thrown due to the fact that the player was hurt. not so much arguing about it cause its in the past and the refs wouldnt swallow their pride anyways but I truely feel it was the ground forcing the limp body. Also had he held on to the ball until he hit the ground instead of immediately dropping the ball as soon as the hit came. may I open your eyes to this video along with the commentary sir http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNmEeTgYLvw

    ReplyDelete
  16. Video of an NFL is great, however my question remains - can you not see the freeze frame? Is your browser not rendering it correctly? From that frame you can see the MSU helmet hitting the Iowa helmet. That is a HELMET to HELMET. That's where the story ends. That is, unless you want to argue that when a player's helmet hits another players helmet first that it's not a helmet to helmet... at that point we'd have to stop discussion for obvious reasons. That would be like arguing the color black isn't black.

    ReplyDelete
  17. All I can say is WOW. Every penalty called in this game was reviewed over and over by the commentators. And every time, you could clearly see if was a penalty. The DJK hold...definite...you can't grab a handful of jersey with a zebra looking straight at you. The helmet to helmet...sorry to say, it was an illegal hit.

    Its sad when your own school newspaper, The State News (http://www.statenews.com/) blatantly states that MSU fans were being classless during this game.

    And the refs looking out for us???? WOW.

  18. Hey Sparty, why don't you go put together a car... Oh wait, they can't do that anymore. Never mind!

  19. To State fan that called penalty a foul. We all know that you are a basketball fan and that you gave up on the football program years ago. Just stay away from stadium and it may not be so classless.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Nice job storminspank on showing the world the truth about this hit. The helmet to helmet rule is in place to keep the game safe and until players like Ware face tougher penalties, these hits will continue. Even one game suspensions do not seem to deter these violent punks that should not be in college in the first place.
    Thanks to the extreme violence that has crept into the game, no self respecting parent can encourage their sons to play football anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Nice screenshoot...that shows absolutely nothing. Last time I checked, football was a contact sport. His QB set him up to get his head taken off. CLEAN HARD HIT!

    Go make some cars??? Good one! Here's one, go...wait there isn't shit to do Iowa

    ReplyDelete
  22. It shows NOTHING? My God, are you that ignorant or you just can tell the difference between a helmet and "nothing"? Yes, football is a contact sport, but there are rules you have to follow. Iowa hits hard too. We all love watching big hits, but when you go above the shoulder pads, you are going to get flagged... and Ware did.

    I have also heard that penalty was for taunting - that would explain the late flag. I'm not sure about that, but it was going to be a 15 yarder any way you look at it.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Clean hit, eat it! And the fans did cheer when he got up, so you guys are morons.

    ReplyDelete
  24. at best the screenshot shows ware's helmet hitting at the same time his facemask hits sandeman's shoulder pad.
    it was clearly a call to please iowa fans. any call that takes 45 seconds after the play ends to call is bs. if he would've gotten up sooner the call wouldnt have been made. 3rd and 7 to 1st and 10 after 15 yards, talk about a gift.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'm suprised not a single person on any of the posts that I've seen thus far have made mention of the fact that Ware could have tackled Sandeman in any other way but chose to tackle him high like he did. BTW have any of you taken a look at the 09-10 NCAAF rulebook? I have and it makes no mention of the tacklers head being lowered. The lowering of the head is in fact a risk to the tackler more than the man receiving the tackle. Take a look at articles done about health and risk in NCAA football. I don't think Ware meant to engage helmet-to-helmet, but I do believe he engaged in a tackle meant to harm the practically defenseless Sandeman (Sandeman had turned his head and taken only one step so there is no way he could have done anything to help himself) and if you look in the rulebook itself, that exact scenario is outlined and is declared a foul. Check it out.

    ReplyDelete
  26. the defender drove his helmet in to the recievers shoulder. watch the video, the still shot is crap and misleading.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I've never seen someone go unconscious from getting hit in the shoulder. But meh, think what you want.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Head hunting is head hunting. Officials officiate; players play; spectators spectate. Ware made a poor attempt to tackle and went for the high hit. As a retired coach, I am tired of hearing constant criticism of officials. As in basketball, you don't have to create a foul, you only have to create an appearance of fouling in the official's mind. Why don't we let players play, and allow the officials to officiate and make the judgement calls required by the rules. Games without officials or rules would be ludicrous. A rule isn't a rule if it isn't enforced.

    ReplyDelete
  29. A corner like Ware salivates for an opportunity to hit someone like that. He was not trying to go helmet to helmet and hurt him, but he was trying to lay him out. That's something a defender dreams about doing. To call him a thug is ignorant in my opinion, and it seemed to me that he tried to hit him right in the shoulder pads. If the call would have been made at the appropriate time, this wouldn't be as much of an issue. If Ware gets suspended for that hit, that's just verification that football isn't what it used to be.

    By the way, I am not blaming this call on the game. Sure, it changed the game, but our inability to stop anyone's 2-minute offense is what lost us this game.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I don't think the question is whether or not it was a penalty worthy hit or not. The question is, given the timing of what happened between the receiver catching the ball and the defender making contact, how could Ware have modified the tackle to make it happen any differently, so as to avoid the penalty? Conclusion, a non-call would have been apropos.

    ReplyDelete
  31. i wonder what all these MSU fans would be saying if sandeman had been paralyzed or broke his neck?

    ReplyDelete
  32. It would have been as unfortunate as the Daryll Stingley outcome from the hit by Jack Tatum. But this is a violent game.

  33. "The question is, given the timing of what happened between the receiver catching the ball and the defender making contact, how could Ware have modified the tackle to make it happen any differently, so as to avoid the penalty? Conclusion, a non-call would have been apropos."

    Obviously he could tackle the way everyone is taught starting in pop warner to wrap up and take him to the ground

    ReplyDelete
  34. Agreed, but it goes back to the timing and momentum going into the hit.

    ReplyDelete
  35. MSU fans can be mad as they want about how long it took the flag to come in. We are too. It should have been instantaneous. Nearly got a stomach ulcer worrying if we were going to lose that game due to bad officiating (and we nearly did--watch it and you can see blatant holding, pass interference, and facemasking repeatedly by MSU). Now y'all can gripe your way to the stomach ulcer I almost got.

    Ricky Stanzi to Marvin McNutt.

    In the end that's all that matters.

    ReplyDelete
  36. The result of the hit prompted the flag, not the technical aspect of how it was executed.

    ReplyDelete
  37. To see Dantonio stand there and argue with the refs about the call while a player is on the ground in spasms surrounded by medical personnel is beyond pathetic. If that would have been Dantonio's kid on the ground, do you think he would have been screaming at the ref or on his knee next to his kid making sure his brain still functioned? Let's guess. What a disgrace - it's no wonder MSU always blows a lead. Their head coach loses his cool no matter what the circumstance and could care less about the well-being of the player. Good luck MSU - "Speed of the coach is the speed of the team." Your coach is in reverse...

    ReplyDelete
  38. i understand that, but if you watch the video ware makes no attempt to wrap up. if ware wraps up and makes the solid tackle there would have been no debate about this whole thing. MSU fans should be mad at ware for trying to make that highlite hit instead of playing fundamental football.

    ReplyDelete
  39. His head didn"t snap back because Ware placed the crown of his helmet into the side of Sandeman's helmet. I guess it's like modern art. Sparty looks at the picture above of Ware's helmet in the side of Sandeman's helmet and says what a lovely vase of flowers.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Actually, we're just sore at Iowa for allowing Chuck Long to be drafted by the Lions some years back.

    ReplyDelete
  41. You're sounding like a true Michigander now. How many other QB's have the Lions ruined? Wake up Mufasa. When Long got drafted by that joke of a team we all knew it was the kiss of death.

    What is it with the State of Michigan fans of any sport? You're always looking for a way out other than that fact that you get your butts kicked. I'd say get some therapy but the last guy to leave Michigan just turned out the lights.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I will admit that it was a very hard hit and on the verge of a foul. Fact of the matter is, Jeremy lead with his shoulder and it was unfortunate that Sandeman was ducking and he hit his helmet. The thing that made me mad was that there was no explanation for the play. I'm ok with the personal foul penalty, but seemed like the ref went over, saw him lying motion less and then threw the flag. And if its a taunting call, I have seen way worse celebrations after a sack, touchdown, etc. Also, I found it hard to believe that the replay official didn't see the fumble on Iowa's field goal drive. The Big Ten refs review almost everything it seems and didn't review that. But nonetheless, at the end of the day Iowa won the game can't argue with that.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Spartan Studen - Yes, the flag should have been thrown earlier, but the refs talked about it and made the call. The fumble on Iowa's FG drive is a non-issue, Wegher recovered his own fumble - completely moot point.

    Also even if MSU doesn't get the flag, it was still 3rd and 6 or 7, who's to say I doesn't convert the 3rd down and continue on the drive?

    ReplyDelete
  44. You know MSU...

    Some teams lose because they are retarded and some teams lose because they are the lesser team in the stadium.

    You managed to be both.

    ReplyDelete
  45. If Ware attempts to tackle Sandeman about 6 inches lower, he can still deliver a punishing hit and no penalty will be called. Don't they teach people to tackle low anymore?

    Clearly both teams are biased towards their own agenda. At the end of the day though the rule is in place to prevent players from getting knocked unconscious via contact between two players helmets.

  48. Wow I get told to rot in hell for sharing my opinion. Real classy my similarly anonymous friend. Now I am not anonymous.

    Anywho it wasn't a clean hit. I keep hearing arguments about Ware hitting him with his arms first and all of that garbage. Fact of the matter is that his helmet made contact with Sandemans. Arms to the chest area do not knock people out stone cold. Ware should of had the presence of mind to use his shoulder or to just simply hit him in the legs.

    Instead however, he decided he was going to go for the home run hit. Which is fine if you don't lead with your helmet. It was a stupid play and MSU paid for it. I thought it was rather classless by the MSU coaching staff and the crowd alike to be booing the obvious helmet to helmet call as if Ware did nothing wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I understand that based on the rule (and a bad rule), it was a personal foul. However, I can't see how you could call for it being intentional and warrant a suspension.

    The fans were booing the refs, not the injured player. I was one of them. My section and most of the stadium cheered him as he walked off under his own power (thankfully). Saying that fans were cheering the injured player simply isn't true, but choose what you want to believe.

    I'm sorry that you think MSU and its fan base is classless. I think you are in the minority on that, but I hope we do better to change our image. I do find it humous that of the many Iowa fans I know, they are all quick to tear down other programs such as Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, OSU, and Michigan State for classless fans. Makes them appear a little bit preachy and self-conscious.

    Lastly - Good luck the rest of the way.

  50. Ware could have just wrapped Sandeman up with a low tackle but these guys are trained to hit hard and hopefully cause a fumble. My high school age player is taught this. I don't know any coach that is going to tell their player not to hit too hard. The initial impact was not helmet to helmet. The screen shot you are showing here clearly shows Sandeman's helmet much higher than Ware's. I think his chin might have been hit by the top of Ware's helmet.

    ReplyDelete
  51. RH Spartan - I think Ware should be suspended because that's the rule. A hit to the head like that, by rule, says the player is to be disqualified. If Coleman from OSU get suspended, Ware should be too.

    ReplyDelete
  52. storminspank,

    huge (respectful) spartan fan speaking here. i honestly and with no bias dont think this was a blatant helmet to helmet penalty. i do not believe jeremy ware was closing in on sandeman with malicious intent, rather, intent to hit him hard. at first glance the hit looks perfectly clean and perfectly legal. when you run the slow-mo replay however it is a clear helmet to helmet hit. i believe the officials (technically) made the right call, but as a huge state fan i am extremely displeased with the latancy and delay on the play call. i beleive, as an honest college football fan, that the refs should definitely be more consistent with their officiating and making decisive decisions on personal penalties such as this one. come on fellow spartan fans, sparty lost that game by going to overcautious prevent defense and giving mcnutt the easiest slant pass to the endzone for the win. i could have thrown that pass. GO GREEN GO WHITE< GO SPARTY

  53. Really... Iowa is finally good at something and you have the BALLS to say these things about MSU?? Come on now, Iowa has not been the greatest team of all time...EVER. I'm sure u have had good years here or there but 1 good year in a while and all of a sudden you are the best team that has the most class? Bull shit, I just lost all respect for iowa and their fan base. This page disgusts me. I can't wait till Ohio State wipes you off the map

    ReplyDelete
  54. the blow was directed toward sandeman's head. this was a poor tackle. ware might have gotten his lick in, but he could use a lesson about what a true hit is before he goes anywhere. here is an instructional video that he can watch on bob sanders. sanders does a number of things that ware did not including: (1) wrapping up, (2) hitting at an appropriate level, (3) tucking the head to one side (next time ware may hurt himself if he doesn't), (4) helping his opponent off the ground, (5) maintaining his composure, (6) driving through and maintaining contact as opposed to going for the initial impulse.

    i know MSU fans might feel good about seeing this intensity, but it just does not look good seeing people walk over an obviously injured player in what appeared to be poor sportsmanship.

  55. spartan say what you want I was at the game and you did not cheer him as he got up or walked off the field. You kept booing. you are CLASSLESS,CLASSLESS,CLASSLESS,CLASSLESS. I talked to one of my Msu fan buddys yesterday and he says if you dont like it stay away from spartan stadium. Perfect lets not fix the problem just stop coming to our stadium. Stay classless sparty!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  56. I thought Iowa fans knew football but you have all proven your ignorance. It's very clear the fans are booing the refs. It was a late flag and the fact that you have to show a slow motion replay to try and prove helmet to helmet shows that it wasn't a clear cut helmet to helmet play. If you can barely illustrate it on a close up what do think it looks like from the stands. To say it was meant for his head...Sandeman clearly lowers his head as he turns up field. If you Iowa fans want to be classy you can admit you got away with a blown fumble call and stop talking like you guys are so great.

    You Iowa fans all talk about your team like they are elite. I always root for the big ten but the big ten is weak and you are squeeking out game after game. If you were to play Florida or Alabama you will get blown out. I didn't want Iowa to make it to the NC because the big ten would be embarassed but maybe I rather you guys do so I don't have to hear all the what ifs. You don't have the offense to compete with the real elite teams. If you want to illustrate your class admit that you guys aren't as good as the other elite teams and stop talking like you deserve to be respected.

    ReplyDelete
  57. So its illegal to hit "The pass receiver whose concentration is on the ball" thats fair but sandeman clearly caught the ball, and turned upfield, taking 2 steps (a football move) therefore he was running after the catch. also, your screenshot sucks, that is not any proof of helmet to helmet (which didnt occur) and the refs arent allowed to wait a minute before throwing a flag, just because the weak wr wouldnt get up

    ReplyDelete
  58. Hey MSU fans, don't feel too bad about losing this game. You're team did play their best. It's just that your best wasn't good enough. In fact, it was kinda gay.

    ReplyDelete
  59. that was one of the hardest hitting games i've personally watched in college football this season. it was an awesome game. msu could be 8-0 as they have they have lost all four games by a combined total of 15. iowa was 8-4 last year, losing by a combined total of 12. similarities, possibly...i believe coach dantonio is doing some special things with this program.

    ...and i didn't know there were any msu fans that actually are willing to go as low as rooting for ohio state. obviously, hawkeyes don't get blue chip recruits like some of the SEC schools or USC, but this program maximizes its talent.

    and the big ten is not that weak. i'd like to see cincinnati, boise state, or TCU run the big ten. it's bullsh#t to discredit any team that goes undefeated in the big ten (unless it's ohio state)

    lastly, it's debatable as to whether or not this is a legal hit. i do believe the fans were merely reacting the the referee delay (as the penalty should have called right away or never).

  60. Just wanted to let you know about a few videos former Hawkeye Chad Greenway helped us put together for Growth Energy, an ethanol advocacy group. There's even a subtle nod to the Hawkeyes that you might like in one of the videos. Chad is helping us spread the word about ethanol.

    Hope you get a chance to take a look. We've got three videos:

    http://www.youtube.com/growthenergy

    And Growth Energy will be at next week's game against Northwestern. We're trying to see if we can get Chad up on the Jumbotron during the game. But look for us if you're at the game.

  61. Why you talking about Ethanol, Heath? What's important here is that MSU is a bunch of losers who need to cut the gay shit out and accept that Iowa is the shit. Not shit as in bad, but the shit as in the better team.

    One note to MSU: You're not Boise. Cut the gay hook and lateral shit out now or risk angering the football deities even further.

  65. Wow storminspank, I didn't know you played football and understood the rules so well. I was at the game and saw it happen. It might not have been in your words, a "clean hit", but it definitely wasn't a dirty hit. Jeremy Ware did what most defensemen wish they could have done, hit the opponent like a MAN! I happened to have played fottball at THE Rockford Rams High school and went to UCLA where we learned how to play defense like men, not dick sucks like Iowa. keep it classy :)

    1. My point was and always has been that the hit was "helmet to helmet", which, by rule, is a penalty.
