Assuming the Right engine failed prior to V1;

The Left engine still producing thrust would have caused the plane to yaw to the RIGHT requiring left rudder and possibly left brake to compensate.

As the pilot applied reverse thrust during the abort, the operating left engine would now produce a yaw to the LEFT.

If the pilot did not then apply RIGHT rudder and/or the RIGHT brake, the result would be the aircraft departing the runway to the left.

If the Pilot applied the right brake and it failed, it would have the same result.




How about not assuming anything and letting the facts speak for themselves?
