I'm not 100% on my opinion on this one, I would want to see the endline view...or the C's view. Either of those would really be the best view on this one to know what really happened. I'd normally go with PC on plays that look much like this but the L had a block and I can see enough in the video that could explain his block.

Sometimes, one video angle can be entirely misleading. There was one play in the John Adams/NCAA block/charge video from a couple of years ago that really looked like a PC from the 1st two angles they showed and then, when showed a 3rd angle, it was clear that it was a block. To know for sure on many of these plays (not all), you have to have just the right angle. And, as luck would have it, the mechanics we use are set up to try to get us in the spot to give us the angles we need.
