The thread about trick plays got me thinking about trick formations. I have seen teams run the BYU split tackle stuff and swinging gate. What other "wacky" formations have you guys used, or seen used, with success?

Can't forget the Spurrier Special. I think you credited it to BYU, maybe they did it first and Spurrier just popularized it.
Tackles split out close to the wideouts.
WO--T-----------------------G--C--G-----------------------T--WO
---------------------------------Q-----------------------------------
I'm not real sure where he puts the backfield guys, maybe like this...
WO--T-----------------------G--C--G-----------------------T--WO
-----------WO-------------------Q-------------------WO-----------
--------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------RB----------------------------------
Either way, the biggest part of this formation is knowing that the OTs are not eligible so they can't catch a forward pass and they cannot go upfield on a pass unless the ball is thrown behind the LOS (slip screen usually).
