I first thought charge but after seeing it again I agree with BillyMac. The defender was there so the offensive player took a side step to allow himself to get by. I thought the defender moved into the path of the Stanford player and wasn't established. I'd go with a block but a difficult play to call for sure.

You just described what a defender is permitted to do to maintain LGP.

The player, once establishing LGP, is allowed to move laterally to maintain it.

But from my point of view the defender moves laterally into the path of the offensive player. Which is legal sure, but I see the defender moving to the side and back without an established defensive position. The offensive player makes a move to get to the side and the defensive player gets in his way. I'd have gone with a block, but again, a very mild disagreement. good play to view

Exactly what is it you require for a defender to get LGP that this guy is missing?

You are adding criteria that is extraneous and doesn't meet the checklist criteria for a charge:

1. Did the defender initially have LGP (both feet on floor and facing opponent)? - YES

2. Did the defender move legally (laterally or backwards, not towards the opponent) to maintain his position? - YES

3. Did contact occur at the defender's torso before the offensive player got his head and shoulders past the defender? YES

Charge

No travel and PC. I could see a no-call here too, the contact was so minor. Lord knows we have seen no-calls with much more severe contact.
