In fairness to Wake Forest, you usually expect defensive linemen to stay on or around the line of scrimmage. You also usually expect them to be somewhere between slow and average speed.
Syracuse lineman Donnie Simmons picks off this pass, then puts on the jets
This is what happens when linemen can move a little bit.


Syracuse’s Donnie Simmons was not on the line of scrimmage on this play. And Donnie Simmons is certainly not average speed.
Better luck next time, Wake Forest. I mean, not really, because next time Donnie Simmons will probably just do the same thing. Sorry about that.
