Anyone have video of the last 5 minutes of the 1st half of the Gator Bowl?

I can’t believe EVERY replay I can find (ESPN, Youtubetv) omit the play from about 4:00 min left to :34 left. Crazy - like it never happened! I like to at least see the Joyner blind side block that caused Beamer’s meltdown and unsportsmanlike penalty. Beamer claims the block was the “way we teach it.” I don’t doubt that but I’d like to at least see it.

Hope someone can find/post the block for your viewing pleasure, but the call was correct. Joyner was in perfect position for a shield block with his back to the defender. However, just before contact he turned his shoulder into the defender and hit him hard enough to take him off his feet. That type of contact will always draw a flag with the current emphasis of reducing the impacts on crack back blocks.
