Why was it illegal?
illegal deception with substitution.

CPJ: "The ACC after the game interpreted that as a violation. Alright, well, we're in the league. If that's illegal, we won't do it anymore. But I've done it before and it hasn't been a problem. I know that here is a rule about deception with substitution. My thing on that is, what are you doing when you huddle up with 40 guys on the sideline, and you run in and you snap the ball? ... Clemson did exactly the same thing to us -- not with the extra point team, but with substitution and left a guy over on the sideline. So in my mind, we should've seen the guy."
