The double wheel that Stanford ran against Army in 2013.  Stanford flooded a zone with RBs.  Basically one guy had to decide to defend Kelsey Young or Tyler Gaffney.  Sure looked good at the time.  I don't know if I have seen it since then.

Interesting to watch that video again. At the time I was sitting in the end zone with the play coming at me, and didn't catch as many details as I can now.

What made that play work so well was a combination of misdirection by Hogan and terrible misread by the Army defenders that led them to having 4 players covering the flat to the offense-right with nobody at all on our team attacking that area. In addition, the safety double covered our one deep route. That led to both the 1 guy trying to cover 2 on the double wheel but also only 4 rushers against 7 blockers - which wasn't making any headway at all.

I do like the play, but it will be rare when it produces that much space.
