Shaw has in the past been creative in bowl games. The first touchdown drive against Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl featured these back to back plays.

Watch the next play too, which was an endaround off a fake to the running back.
And then of course, there was the fake fumble play fake in the Iowa game.

The key is that you have guys who can execute those plays. Tough to run trick plays when, as you noted, you are missing half of your starting offense. At that point, you just want your guys to be able to execute the basics; forget devoting practice time to a trick play.
