In 1980 VT was screwed by non enforcement of the rule. @ Clemson in a game that could prove VT could hang with the ACC despite being snubbed for an invite 6 years previously.

VT was riding a 6 game losing streak to the Tigers in front of a sold out homecoming crowd under Bill Dooley. Trailing 7-13 at 4th and goal with about 5min to play the QB Steve Casey 3 separate times stood up from under center to appeal to the Ref and even got Clemson charged a timeout. But on the 4th time the Ref bitched out and told Casey to run the lay which resulted in a penalty after our TE and a RB misheard his calls and both were in motion at the same time leading to the Illegal Procedure.

Starting an undersized player with no experience isn't going to get the job done once ACC play hits. These three games are going to be used to get Motuapuaka more experience and get the back up some playing time to establish depth.

Utah State at Utah -13.5
ND -11.5 at uva
OU at Vawls PK
Ducks at Sparty -3.5
LSU -3.5 at Cowbell
Boise State -2.5 at BYU

I am sure that someone who was at the second fall scrimmage can verify this, but there were a few plays where Lawson didn't go 100%.

Twice the ball was snapped on the ground, in a live scrimmage, and he just let it lay there and made no attempt to get it. The second one after the coaches chewed him out just 1-2 plays before.

I was really big on Lawson getting significant PT, even with Brewer healthy, until I saw this. Maybe he does work hard, but on that day he was not going 100%. I really felt soured after watching it unfold.
