With an engine failure below Vmcg – i.e. below V1, you should reject the take off. This involves reducing thrust to idle, which removes the lateral thrust asymmetry and extreme control requirement. The aircraft can be returned to the runway centreline with normal control use – rudder is still effective and NWS can be used at the lower speeds.
Agree

Of course if the engine failure happens to be a stuck fuel control, the weeds should assist you in stopping.
