Somebody didn't think that group's practice rotations through very well.Austin Peay just had all 3 of their long-snappers miss their first game on Saturday night due to "unspecified reasons", which is obviously COVID related. And, shocker, they pretty much lost the game because they couldn't long snap.
Different era, but I played small college and there were always a few position players who could long snap. Our starting center long snapped for four years, and I was a starting OT, but back-up long snapper, never had to in four years. Heck our OLB was the place/FG kicker for three years, Hit two 50+ yarders for wins in 3 seasons. When he graduated my senior year, we finally got just a kicker, who wasn't near as good.
Specialization sucks when something like this happens.
